Anand Giridharadas presents Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World

In conversation with Lydia Polgreen

Tickets free with RSVP; VIP tickets at $30 include book and priority seating

Part of the Brooklyn Voices series

With his new book Winners Take All, former New York Times columnist Anand Giridharadas offers 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. Giridharadas takes us into the inner sanctum of a new gilded age, and asks why our gravest problems should be solved but an unelected upper crust instead of the public institutions it erodes. A call to action for elites and everyday citizens alike, Winners Take All has been praised by thinkers and writers as diverse as Katherine Boo, Isabel Wilkerson, Bill Gates, and Bryan Stevenson, who writes, “This is an important book from a gifted writer whose honest exploration of complex problems provides urgently needed clarity in an increasingly confusing era.” Giridharadas discusses his new book and the surrounding issues with HuffPost Editor-In-Chief Lydia Polgreen at this event at St. Joseph’s College as part of the Brooklyn Voices series.

Admission to this event is free, but RSVP is required. VIP tickets include a copy Winners Take All and priority seating. Anand Giridharadas will sign books following the discussion.
