A necessary read for concerned citizens. Giridharadas articulates an opinion that is all too rarely expressed these days. He rejects the consensus view of philanthropists being the saviors for society, and in fact indicts them for being, at best, complicit in, and at worst, the cause of our society’s problems. For example, creating job insecurity by cutting wages and automating jobs, disenfranchising women by lobbying against legislation mandating maternity leave. While sympathetic to his interviewees, who are mostly the “doing good by doing well” type, he is still able to critique them in a pointed way. A great read, though a bit repetitive if I’m being honest. And for us to stop looking to wealthy philanthropists to solve our problems, we need government to step up and offer solutions. I wish Giridharadas would have spent more time addressing this question of how exactly to do this. But what he does address, he does so very well. I think this is a necessary

Anand Giridharadas shows how winners really take all. I saw the author interviewed on a Bay Area PBS station. He was articulate and insightful, so I immediately downloaded the book.

I thought this was an audiobook. Bought it twice. Hopeful for refund.. See above. Please help

Winners Take All. Highly recommend people read this well written, informative, and transparent book that examines the ways in which the ultra rich market and rationalize maintaining the capitalist culture and systems that only truly benefit a few while oppressing the rest.

Long and Indigestible. I really liked the author’s points, generally speaking. My issue was mostly the writing style. The author used several examples to back-up his points, but then jumped into the next topic, without summarizing the main point the example just provided. It was also very wordy, lots of saying the same things but in different ways, to the extent that half of the book could have been cut out and his arguments would’ve still had weight. The prologue gave me a headache, and the chapters were unnecessarily long.
