In nearly every facet of our daily existence, an unseen velvet rope serves as a dividing line that shapes our lives. On one side, appointments are effortlessly secured, queues are effortlessly skipped, and doors are effortlessly opened. On the other, individuals engage in fierce battles for scarce seats on planes, coveted positions in line at theme parks, and even coveted spots in medical exam queues. Schwartz adeptly illustrates how business innovators have capitalized on the widening gap between the affluent and the rest of society, redirecting services away from the masses and discovering novel avenues to generate profits by catering to the privileged. The seamless and exclusive world of VIP experiences appears to be a lucrative business model, but as this model expands, the associated costs are rapidly escalating. Schwartz's captivating account takes us on a dazzling, behind-the-scenes journey into this new reality, shedding light on the profound impact that the velvet rope divide is exerting on our society.
