About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World written and read by Anand Giridharadas.
*The New York Times bestseller*
'Entertaining and gripping . . . For those at the helm, the philanthropic plutocrats and aspiring "change agents" who believe they are helping but are actually making things worse, it's time for a reckoning with their role in this spiraling dilemma' Joseph Stiglitz, New York Times Book Review
What explains the spreading backlash against the global elite? In this revelatory investigation, Anand Giridharadas takes us into the inner sanctums of a new gilded age, showing how the elite follow a 'win-win' logic, fighting for equality and justice any way they can - except ways that threaten their position at the top.
But why should our gravest problems be solved by consultancies, technology companies and corporate-sponsored charities instead of public institutions and elected officials? Why should we rely on scraps from the winners? Trenchant and gripping, this is an indispensable guide and call to action for elites and citizens alike.

Great book ; not a one on blatant exploitation
Though it's a book on how the plutes mislead the youths who intend to solve problems and how they turn a blind eye to the problems which they create, it doesn't necessarily talk about how they actually do it. Especially, this book doesn't deal with how the so called third-world countries are exploited by such foundations and aide programs.
Otherwise, it's a great book

Brilliant!!
Absolutely brilliant!! One of the best social commentaries of our times and a must read for every social impact fund/ development professional, as a grim reminder of how manipulative "Market World" can be.

eye opener for millennials
it's a perfect book for millennials to read and understand the present in order to shape the further. there is too much pressure to aspire to be millionaires and entrepreneurs instead of doing something good for society. this books presents the harsh reality of how people become billionaires and then work at maintaining the status quo. I short for people who are unaware, it's like taking the red pill and waking up from the matrix of economic deception.
