Explore how money, power, and masculinity intersect at the highest levels of the global economy. 

In Men of Money, sociologist Lynn Horton examines the powerful relationship between elite masculinity, extraordinary wealth, and the economic ideas that shape modern society. Focusing on the influential worlds of finance and technology, Horton considers how highly visible billionaires have come to represent particular ideals of success, authority, and power. 

Through an examination of gender, class, race, and neoliberal ideology, the book reveals how wealthy individuals, think tanks, advocacy organizations, and economic institutions can influence attitudes toward markets, government, leadership, and social responsibility. Horton also explores the tensions between technocratic models of elite masculinity and the gendered and racialized rhetoric associated with populist political movements.

Thought-provoking and academically rigorous, Men of Money offers a revealing perspective on how wealth and masculinity intersect with some of the most influential political and economic forces of the twenty-first century.
