In 'Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World', Anand Giridharadas embarks on an incisive exploration of the philanthropic practices of the global elite, who claim to lead the charge in solving world problems. However, their methods often safeguard the status quo, protecting their positions of power while offering token gestures to the disenfranchised. Giridharadas lays bare the hypocrisies of a system where unelected magnates advance 'change' that coincides with their interests, questions the legitimacy of their influence over public matters, and suggests it may be time for true democratic engagement rather than reliance on the hollow altruism of the privileged few.
