We See How They Rebrand Themselves As Saviors Of The Poor; How They Lavishly Reward 'Thought Leaders' Who Redefine 'Change' In Winnerfriendly Ways; And How They Constantly Seek To Do More Good, But Never Less Harm. We Hear The Limousine Confessions Of A Celebrated Foundation Boss; Witness An American President Hem And Haw About His Plutocratic Benefactors; And Attend A Cruiseship Conference Where Entrepreneurs Celebrate Their Own Selfinterested Magnanimity.Giridharadas Asks Hard Questions: Why, For Example, Should Our Gravest Problems Be Solved By The Unelected Upper Crust Instead Of The Public Institutions It Erodes By Lobbying And Dodging Taxes?
