The poor plutocrats delves into the intricate world of a wealthy family torn apart by greed, ego, and emotional decay. At its center is an aging patriarch whose domineering presence shapes the household's every move, fostering resentment and quiet rebellion. The narrative explores how immense wealth, instead of ensuring peace, becomes a source of division and moral erosion. Within this oppressive atmosphere, the younger generation grapples with expectations, regret, and the longing for freedom from the legacy of control that governs their lives. As discussions of inheritance and status take precedence over love and humanity, the family's emotional fragility surfaces through illness, rivalry, and despair. The novel contrasts opulence with emptiness, revealing how material riches can coexist with spiritual poverty. Through its portrayal of domestic conflict and moral struggle, it becomes a reflection on the corrosive power of greed and the enduring search for meaning within a gilded but hollow existence.
