À propos de cette écoute

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.

    A worthwhile read for those interested in social politics. Read by the author and well captivating, keeping attention till the end. Finally meeting some names of which the background story has been in other cases, conveniently left out. Mentioning multiple facets of inequality and the reasons thereof. Encouraging critical thinking. Should be used as part of a curriculum for social sciences.

    To agree or disagree? That is the question...

    Don't ask me how this is possible, but I cried when I read this book. Especially when Walker accepted the position with Pepsi while he continued to convince himself that he still believed in real change, structural and fundamental change. Easily one of my best readings this year, and of my life. And in the end, when Anand thanked the many people who made this book possible, I also thanked them, and him. I don’t need to hide that I completely agree with him on all points, so at no time was this reading uncomfortable for me. The same certainly cannot be said about people who believe in several fallacies that were demystified in this work, such as win-win and other arguments that on the surface seem in good faith.

    I got to know the author thanks to his appearance on the Daily Show and I was fascinated by his ideas, which I have always shared. I believe it is difficult to be educated and well informed without agreeing with such ideas.

    The book is very well written, informative, realistic and touches on problems that are uncomfortable for many, but that needed to be addressed.

    For me, the question that remains is: what do I do? In the end, the book asks the winners to do less harm, to invest in government structures, and to stop private initiatives that barely resolve the problems they are responsible for; but it also asks the losers, like me, like the people in general, for more action, more participation in political life and in change. But what I do? The system is designed in such a way that it seems that only two options are viable: to create something new (which is not ideal) or to try to change the system from within, thus being part of the problem.

    Anyway, I have more tools and more information to be able to, not make a difference, but to participate in the process of change. I can only thank the writer for this work that I have been recommending to everyone around me.

    I can't recommend this enough!
