Story
Millions of Americans have lost confidence in our political and economic system. After years of stagnant wages, volatile job markets, and an unwillingness by those in power to deal with profound threats such as climate change, there is a mounting sense that the system is fixed, serving only those select few with enough money to secure a controlling stake. With the characteristic clarity and passion that has made him a central civil voice, Robert B. Reich shows how wealth and power have interacted to install an elite oligarchy, eviscerate the middle class, and undermine democracy.

Story
During the 20th century, America managed to make its economic and social systems both more and more fair and more and more prosperous. A huge, secure, and contented middle class emerged. All boats rose together. But then the New Deal gave way to the Raw Deal. Beginning in the early 1970s, by means of a long war conceived of and executed by a confederacy of big business CEOs, the superrich, and right-wing zealots, the rules and norms that made the American middle class possible were undermined and dismantled.

When Bernie Sanders began his race for the presidency, it was considered by the political establishment and the media to be a "fringe" campaign, something not to be taken seriously. After all, he was just an independent senator from a small state with little name recognition. His campaign had no money, no political organization, and it was taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment. By the time Sanders' campaign came to a close, however, it was clear that the pundits had gotten it wrong.

The world is out of balance. With increasing frequency, we are presented with the inescapable truth that systemic racism and colonial structures are foundational principles to our economies. The $1 trillion philanthropic industry is one example of a system that mirrors oppressive colonial behavior. It’s an industry whose name means “the love for humankind”, yet it does more harm than good.

In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

When we understand why we gather, she says - to acknowledge, to learn, to challenge, to change - we learn how to organize gatherings that are relevant and memorable.

When Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009, Browder cast aside his business career and made it his life’s mission to pursue justice for Sergei. One of the first steps of that mission was to uncover who had killed Sergei and profited from the $230 million corruption scheme that he had exposed. As Browder and his team tracked the money that flowed out of Russia—through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas—they discovered that Vladimir Putin himself was one of the beneficiaries of the crime.

Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

800-CEO-READ Business Book of the Year
The New York Times best-selling, 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. An essential read for understanding some of the egregious abuses of power that dominate today’s news.
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? He also points toward an answer: Rather than rely on scraps from the winners, we must take on the grueling democratic work of building more robust, egalitarian institutions and truly changing the world. A call to action for elites and everyday citizens alike.
Critic Reviews
“In Anand’s thought-provoking book his fresh perspective on solving complex societal problems is admirable. I appreciate his commitment and dedication to spreading social justice.” (Bill Gates)
"This is a very difficult subject to tackle, but Giridharadas executes it brilliantly.... This must-have title will be of great interest to readers, from students to professionals and everyone in-between, interested in solutions to today's complex problems.... Winners Take All will be the starting point of conversations private and in groups on alternatives to the status quo and calls to action. An excellent book for troubled times." (Booklist)
"Provocative and passionate... This damning portrait of contemporary American philanthropy is a must-read for anyone interested in 'changing the world."" (Publishers Weekly)
“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. I suggest they might want to read a copy of this book while in the Hamptons this summer.” (Joseph E. Stiglitz, The New York Times Book Review)

Profound.
This book was one of the most thought-provoking books I’ve read in recent memory. Many things I’ve unknowingly been taking for granted as more or less orthodoxy when it comes to notions of changing the world we’re challenged and turned on their respective heads. Just an incredibly interesting, urgent, devastatingly relevant book.

Unexpectedly Powerful Perspective
I listened to Anand Giridharadas on a couple of NPR shows and podcasts and found what he was saying was interesting, but didn’t run out to buy the audiobook…. Am so pleased that I finally did. The underlying question is: What is the best way to improve the lives of the majority of Americans who have not experienced the economic gains of the past 40 years. The answer from the mega-rich is: them. You hear of their “do-gooding” everywhere: Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Bill Clinton, Bloomberg and many other less well known (like the Sacklers whose company, Purdue, markets OxyContin) among many others who grew or inherited great fortunes.
Giridharadas gives a detailed and compelling argument that this beneficence from the "globalists" is not the best method to solve America's inequities. It helps small pockets of people, but will do nothing to fix the problems systemically. Not only does it not help, but it contributes to the financial inequities all around us. Silicon Valley is especially targeted for their unwise and uninformed digital “problem solving”. And it seems that many (most?) companies get on the philanthropic bandwagon to hobnob with other elites to enhance their brand and therefore bottom line. "Doing well by doing good"
I just devoured this book and want to say so much more, but the publisher’s summary is apt and I urge anyone who is a little interested in this idea to listen or read this book. What a fresh perspective to the idea that a small percentage of people who take 80% of the gains from our economy’s growth are justified if they then become philanthropists and give back some of their wealth in ways they see fit (and they are unaccountable). There are many stories of insiders on both sides of the argument - that is the ultimate success of the book - the research.
Narration was perfect. I don't think you'll be sorry getting this book. So worth a credit.

exquisite debunking of the win-win myth
one of the best books I have ever red in both expression and content. I teach sustainable business and social entrepreneurship and I'm very aware of the dark side of the concepts and stories that I traffic in. winners take all is a critical deconstruction of the motives and culture the drives the current fascination with social impact among the world's Financial Elite. the author does concede the business and markets have a role to play in solving the world's social problems but he puts greater faith in our political systems at every level. I'm grateful for having read this book and will be sharing it with many of my colleagues and Friends. Highly recommended!

No Solutions
The gist of this book is the rich and powerful can not be trusted to implement fair remediations to inequality by means of so-called "win-win" strategies. Giridharadas is also concerned that "thought-leaders" and TED talks (both beholden to the powers that be) are replacing (the more independent and vetted) "public intellectuals" and thick tomes for discussing the issues around equality.
I agreed with most things said but no solutions were offered other than different leaders using different techniques. Although there is good reason to be suspicious of market oriented solutions, such techniques have been quite successful in the past (but clearly have not been working to reduce wealth inequality.)
He strongly advocates to include the disadvantaged in the decision making process. This, of course, seems like a good idea, but it is at the core of the difference between direct and representative democracy. It is clear to me I don't want a revolution and reign of terror.
Although this was an OK read, it did not really impress me. Is anyone surprised that the rich and powerful have a vested interest in maintaining the system that enriched them? Is anyone surprised that some of these rich placate their guilt through charity? So what is to be done? The author says SOMETHING! Gee, thanks!
The author's narration was excellent.

A much needed inquiry into the world of impact
As someone who works in the world that Anand investigates, I felt that many of his words articulated what for years many of us thought to ourselves quietly but could not find the words and the courage to express. The book however, does not offer any alternative worlds in which change making can be done. In that sense, Anand is not being the “thought-leader” he talks about in his book but rather a true journalist who investigates and communicates an idea.
