In 2018, Bri Lee's brilliant young friend Damian was named a Rhodes Scholar, an apex of academic achievement. When she goes to visit him and takes a tour of Oxford and Rhodes House, she begins questioning her belief in a system she has previously revered, as she learns the truth behind what Virginia Woolf described almost a century earlier as the 'stream of gold and silver' that flows through elite institutions and dictates decisions about who deserves to be educated there.

The cost of living crisis is not just about prices. It’s about distance. Distance between work and security. Distance between decisions and consequences. Distance between the people struggling to stay afloat and the systems shaping their lives. This book is not an attack on capitalism. It does not argue that wealth is immoral, that success requires apology, or that higher taxes alone will fix what feels broken. Markets work. Wealth creation matters. Incentives shape behavior.

Elite networks are informal social networks between politicians in power and top executives of politically connected firms where personal ties and long-term interactions build trust and loyalty between involved actors. Both groups draw benefits from these interactions; politicians stay in power, and corporate executives extract rents for their firms. Firms reward connected executives with higher salaries thus widening the dispersion of earnings in society. In Elite Networks, Vuk Vukovic offers a different perspective on the long-run origins of inequality.
