About this product

Product Information

The New York Times bestselling, groundbreaking investigation of how the global elite's efforts to change the world preserve the status quo and obscure their role in causing the problems they later seek to solve. An essential read for understanding some of the egregious abuses of power that dominate today's news. Former New York Times columnist Anand Giridharadas takes us into the inner sanctums of a new gilded age, where the rich and powerful fight for equality and justice any way they can--except ways that threaten the social order and their position atop it. We see how they rebrand themselves as saviors of the poor; how they lavishly reward thought leaders who redefine change in winner-friendly ways; and how they constantly seek to do more good, but never less harm. We hear the limousine confessions of a celebrated foundation boss; witness an American president hem and haw about his plutocratic benefactors; and attend a cruise-ship conference where entrepreneurs celebrate their own self-interested magnanimity. Giridharadas asks hard questions: Why, for example, should our gravest problems be solved by the unelected upper crust instead of the public institutions it erodes by lobbying and dodging taxes? He also points toward an answer: Rather than rely on scraps from the winners, we must take on the grueling democratic work of building more robust, egalitarian institutions and truly changing the world. A call to action for elites and everyday citizens alike.

Reviews
" Winners Take All is the book I have been waiting for--the most important intervention yet regarding elite-driven solutions, a vitally important problem to expose. The book courageously answers so many of the critical questions about how, despite much good will and many good people, we struggle to achieve progress in twenty-first-century America. If you want to be part of the solution, you should read this book." --Ai-jen Poo, director, National Domestic Workers Alliance "A brilliant, rising voice of our era takes us on a journey among the global elite in his search for understanding of our tragic disconnect. Thought-provoking, expansive, and timely." --Isabel Wilkerson, author, The Warmth of Other Suns " Winners Take All boldly exposes one of the great if little-reported scandals of the age of globalization: the domestication of the life of the mind by political and financial power and the substitution of 'thought leaders' for critical thinkers. It not only reorients us as we lurch out of a long ideological intoxication; it also embodies the values--intellectual autonomy and dissent--that we need to build a just society." --Pankaj Mishra, author of Age of Anger "In this trenchant and timely book, Anand Giridharadas shows how the winners of global capitalism seek to help the losers, but without disturbing the market-friendly arrangements that keep the winners on top. He gives us an incisive critique of corporate-sponsored charities that promote frictionless 'win-win' solutions to the world's problems but disdain the hard, contentious work of democratic politics. An indispensable guide for those perplexed by the rising public anger toward 'change-making' elites." --Michael J. Sandel, author of What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets

    A book that explains the social and economic ruin caused by offshoring production

    The author well researched the topic in an unbiased manner. An oustanding investigative journalist so credibly explains how American manufacturing is being destroyed by BILLIONARES as they offshore production while sacrificing the American future for their own immediate profit.

    Appropriate

    More Trump voters need to read this and educate themselves about what is going on and has been for a long time that has lead to the the division in income that is behind all this anger in this country.
