Posh Boys

Robert Verkaik

"Some people earn success. Others buy it. Imagine a world where leaders are able to pass power directly to their children. These children are plucked from their nurseries and sent to beautiful compounds far away from all the other children. They are given the best teachers, the best facilities, the best doctors and the best food. Each day the children are told that the reason they're here is because they are the brightest and most important children in the world. In the outside world they are presented with the best jobs, the grandest houses and most of the money. Through their networks of friends and family they control the government, the army, the police and the City. The leaders tell all their people that everyone is equal and that everyone has the chance of becoming a leader. But this isn't true. If such a world existed today how would we react? Wouldn't we say that this is unfair, this is corrupt? Wouldn't we demand a radical change before it is too late?"--Publisher's description.
