Winners Take All

"The past years have seen some outstanding books on how philanthropists and their dollars have shaped public policy. On the heels of last year’s The Givers by David Callahan, we now have Anand Giridharadas’ Winners Take All. The author zeros in on what he sees as a glaring hypocrisy among affluent elites: that while many well-meaning (and well-off) Americans claim to want to improve society’s inequalities, they don’t challenge the structures that preserve that inequality, not wanting to jeopardize their own privileged positions. Giridharadas even numbers today’s elites “among the more predatory in history.”"

"I'm deeply curious about how we achieve real change that actually betters people's lives."
