Summary & Analysis : Winners Take All By Anand Giridharadas : The Elite Charade Of Changing The World eBook

Overall Summary of Winners Take AllWinners Take All takes aim at the world of philanthropy, marketing, and the elite charade of changing the world. These are large targets tackled with precision. The book looks at issues on a macro level by evaluating their global impact and systemic roots, and also on the micro level by tracking a number of men and women directly involved in both the problems and solutions facing the United States and the broader world.The darker side of philanthropy is explored and evaluated. People with power are not likely to change the world to a significant degree, because it would threaten their own power. The people who have the power to cause positive change in the world, stand to gain the least from genuine positive change and have the most to lose as a result.Often times the rich and powerful use donations and the giving-back of their money/resources as a sort of get out of jail free card.
