Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World
The world’s elite often partake in philanthropic endeavors, conferences, and thinktanks to help address modernity’s great problems. However, Anand Giridharadas argues that the contributions of the elite are not altruistic efforts to change the world. Rather, the world’s elite are caught up in solving the problems they created in the first place, obscuring their role in these problems and maintaining the status quo along the way. This book focuses on this sleight of hand and the fallacies touted by the elite, deconstructing their rationale methodically. In each chapter, Giridharadas follows “insiders” who question this reality, even while they make compromises to partake in it.

Reframing Poverty: New Thinking and Feeling About Humanity’s Greatest Challenge
Poverty is humanity’s most persistent social ill. Despite having the same four conversations about the causes of poverty over and over again, we’re no closer to addressing, or by any means “eradicating,” poverty. In fact, we continue to discuss poverty as an objective matter to the degree that we have neglected to examine and acknowledge the role of emotions in our discourse about and definition of poverty. Eric Meade takes readers through an examination of our beliefs around poverty, where they do and don’t hold up, and how we can begin to think differently. Offering a deeply complex and compassionate view of poverty, Meade interrogates what’s keeping us from truly making a difference.
