the elite charade of changing the world

Winners take all

Every once in a while you read a book that flips the way you view the world on its head. This is one of those books that bravely challenges the "doogooder" self established perception of the silicon valley.

Matthew Royal

Giridharadas looks at money and the economy in zero sum terms, assuming that if some are winning, others must be losing. After reading Pinker's "Enlightenment Now," this author's arguments seem thin and unnecessarily alarmist, unsubstantiated with data. Did not finish.

An elaborate explanation on the current state of the world, this puts into words what has been niggling in the back of my mind, the emphasis on doing good without acknowledging, accounting for the hero's part in the perpetuating the bad. A recommended read for a more just world.

Jayme Bosio

It is a little early to call it, but I'm calling it anyway...this is the best book I have read this year. This book caused me to shift my thinking about how we address social problems.
