An insider's 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.
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?

评分in reality their tricks and strategies enable them to keep things as they are. Helped by thought leaders promoting a rhetoric of change, those with power do everything they can to hold on to it while convincing others – and themselves – that they are improving life for all.
评分ok, rich people are evil, because though they donate a fraction of their wealth they are not willing to share their power with the rest of the world, equally. so i take it that the author is wholeheartedly willing to pay minimal 50% tax on his income, especially that he's actually part of the wealthy. no solution proposed whatsoever. what rubbish.

评分‘doing the market-friendly thing instead of the idealistic thing; elevating what the people supposedly needed economically over what they wanted politically; believing that the right, data-driven, technocratic answers speak for themselves...’
