An insider's 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.
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.

评分对于大企业的善意过于苛刻了。现实世界里大公司自己也是如履薄冰吧,在社会责任和自我盈利的界限间摇摆,并没有像书里夸大的那种赢者通吃的局面。但还是提供了一种新的视角,让读者警惕并重新审视大企业行善的动机。
评分2.5星吧,有些部分有道理,但其实更多是随便聊聊自己的罪恶感,却非要假装是本严肃书
