Čtyři schody k bohatství – Klíma Josef (2024)

Billionaire Pavel Wolf dies while attempting to break a speed record on an open highway. Who was he really? And what was he trying to achieve? And can a billionaire be honest and upright in our country? All these questions are raised through the memories of his closest person: physiotherapist Martina, who helped him endure the hardships from a childhood injury throughout his life. The only poor person in the community of the richest elite, who sees it from the inside while also critically observing it. Josef Klíma, just like in his previous book "Seven Steps to Power," inspired by the case of former Prime Minister Petr Nečas and his fateful woman Jana Nagyová, does not hide his journalistic background and conducts a deep exploration of how billionaires were born in our country after 1989. Most of the stories he tells have a true basis, even though some sound as unbelievable as the entire 1990s. The story of Pavel Wolf and physiotherapist Martina is essentially an epic about the history of this state over the last half-century, seen through the hidden world of those whom most of the nation envies. And also an open question: do we have anything to envy them for?
