Recenzii

A fierce book. . . What gives Giridharadas's heartfelt critique such force is that he is a heretic, someone chosen for the equivalent of the priesthood in the new religion of philanthropy who had a revelation and decided to renounce the faith
Trenchant, provocative and well-researched. . . Read it and beware
Hugely enjoyable. . . A spirited examination of the hypocrisy of the super-rich who claim they are helping the world
Entertaining and gripping . . . For those at the helm, the philanthropic plutocrats and aspiring "change agents" who believe they are helping but are actually making things worse, it's time for a reckoning with their role in this spiraling dilemma
Giridharadas isn't afraid to speak his mind, even if it means taking down some of the most powerful people on the planet. . . He has started a movement with this scathing critique of a society that rewards monopolistic models, faux philanthropy and protects the interests of a wealthy few

Descriere

Former McKinsey consultant and New York Times columnist Anand Giridharadas asks a question that Silicon Valley and Davos would rather you didn't: what if the very people who claim to be solving the world's problems are actually making them worse?

In Winners Take All, Giridharadas reveals how the global elite — tech billionaires, hedge fund managers, and corporate philanthropists — have rebranded themselves as saviours while ensuring that no real change threatens their position at the top. Through vivid portraits and sharp analysis, he exposes the 'win-win' illusion: the idea that the powerful can simultaneously do well and do good, without ever giving anything up.

A New York Times bestseller and one of the most provocative books about inequality of the last decade.
