Description

In this incisive critique of modern philanthropy and social change, the author examines how wealthy elites champion reform while often preserving the systems that generate extreme inequality. Through vivid reporting and conversations with prominent philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and activists, the book explores the tension between doing good and pursuing deeper structural change. It challenges the idea that market-driven solutions alone can resolve society’s most urgent problems, asking who benefits when winners lead the effort to fix the world. Provocative and deeply researched, the book is a compelling examination of power, inequality, and the limits of benevolent capitalism.
