Description

Overall Summary of Winners Take All Winners Take All takes aim at the world of philanthropy, marketing, and the elite charade of changing the world. These are large targets tackled with precision. The book looks at issues on a macro level by evaluating their global impact and systemic roots, and also on the micro level by tracking a number of men and women directly involved in both the problems and solutions facing the United States and the broader world. The darker side of philanthropy is explored and evaluated. People with power are not likely to change the world to a significant degree, because it would threaten their own power. The people who have the power to cause positive change in the world, stand to gain the least from genuine positive change and have the most to lose as a result. Often times the rich and powerful use donations and the giving-back of their money/resources as a sort of get out of jail free card. The act of giving away their money stops critics from inquiring how they amassed their fortunes in the first place. Giving back often comes at the expense of considerably more harm being caused to generate the money that is then given back. Some of the fundamental questions that Winners Take All attempts to answer are: Is it possible to do good while doing well? Can the people with the power to change the world truly to so for the benefit of broader society, and if the answer is yes, then why hasn't any significant positive change been detected since the 1980s amongst those not in the top 1%? Why has widespread inequality continued to grow?
