內容簡介

內容簡介 當金錢成為信仰，是改變世界還是被世界改變？金錢是否等於自由？魯曼．阿蘭以《斷訊》聲名鵲起，新作省思美國當代核心價值。出身名校懷抱使命感的33歲黑人女性在特許學校任教多年後，轉職基金會擔任專案協調，為83歲白人億萬富翁規劃巨額捐款。她頓時擁有過去無法觸及的體面生活，以為自己獲得拯救靈魂改變人生的力量。隨著眾人的吹捧、她勃發的野心和一連串不當決策，事態愈趨緊張……A novel of money and morality from the New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World BehindBrooke wants. She isn’t in need, but there are things she wants. A sense of purpose, for instance. She wants to make a difference in the world, to impress her mother along the way, to spend time with friends and secure her independence. Her job assisting an octogenarian billionaire in his quest to give away a vast fortune could help her achieve many of these goals. It may inspire new desires as well: proximity to wealth turns out to be nothing less than transformative. What is money, really, but a kind of belief?Taut, unsettling, and alive to the seductive distortions of money, Entitlement is a riveting tale for our new gilded age, a story that confidently considers questions about need and worth, race and privilege, philanthropy and generosity, passion and obsession. It is a provocative, propulsive novel about the American imagination.
