GG reviewed Winners Take All by Anand Giridharadas
Review of 'Winners take all' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book is an important critique, especially for those of us in Silicon Valley, but I’m not sure it says anything new. Private do-gooders promoting incremental social change obscure the need for strengthening public institutions and moving away from winner-take-all capitalism: YES! But we know that, and I’m not sure the author really proposes an alternative. He seems to believe that advocates of the “market world” (as he calls it) can simply be guided to redirect their efforts to working for real social change — and I don’t think that’s the case. Ultimately I think our choice is between accepting their help as they prefer to give it, or not helping at all.
