"Varför tar ingen tag i det globala problemet med extrem rikedom? Varför influeras andliga sökare av österländska läror när de vill vara mindful - när vårt västerländska kapitalistiska system är totalt historiskt överlägset när det gäller att leva i nuet?
Varför kände Chris O'Neill omedelbart något alldeles särskilt för prinsessan Madeleine? Varför avskyr Annie Lööf Robin Hood? Liv Strömquists nya bok Uppgång och fall handlar om kapitalism, klass och pengar.
Äntligen är Liv Strömquist tillbaks med ett seriealbum fullspäckat med fakta, tankeväckande formuleringar och en oerhörd humor. Med i albumet är även serien "End extreme wealth" som ursprungligen gjordes för The Knife. Serien har rönt stor internationell uppmärksamhet och kommer nu för första gången ut i en omarbetad svensk version. Med Uppgång och fall visar Liv Strömquist återigen upp sin mästargren: skarpsinnad samhällskritik och komisk timing."
