Winners Take All - Anand Giridharadas

Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World by Anand Giridharadas

In this sharp, provocative critique, journalist Anand Giridharadas challenges the idea that the world’s biggest problems can be solved by the same elites who benefit from the systems that created them. Winners Take All exposes how philanthropy, “doing good,” and corporate-led social impact often serve to preserve power rather than create real change. With compelling examples from Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and global philanthropy, the book asks an uncomfortable but essential question: who really gets to decide how the world is fixed?
