Justin Rosenstein: a tech entrepreneur that tries to make the world a bit better by creating a collaboration software company.Īmy Cuddy: a social psychologist from the Harvard Business School that went from academic to "thought leader" in the MarketWorld speaking circuit. Hilary Cohen: an enthusiastic Georgetown graduate who had her enthusiasm to change the world channelled into a job at McKinsey consulting after graduation. The book provides its critique through a series of stories of different people that pass through the MarketWorld culture and community in its various forms, including:
MarketWorld consists of a culture and ideology that pervades consulting, investing and philanthropy. The book's critique centers on the self-serving and political nature of the dominant change-the-world framework which he refers to as "MarketWorld." MarketWorld is the label that the book creates for the international network and culture of power brokers and wealthy do-gooders who are wedded to the idea of making the world a better place through market-based solutions and elite philanthropy. The neo-liberal framework that Giridharadas critiques asserts that market forces and efficient, business-type organizational and economic models are the most powerful and effective way to make the world a better place. Needless to say, Giridharadas strongly disagrees. In Winners Take All: the Elite Charade of Changing the World, Anand Giridharadas provides an incisive critique of the dominant market-based "change-the-world" framework permeating public discourse today.
