Are world hunger, pandemics and climate change “fixable” – or is
mitigating their impacts the best we can hope for? Is there any
point in making them moonshots? In his new book, Big Bets: How
Large-Scale Change Really Happens, Rockefeller Foundation President
and former Administrator of USAID Rajiv Shah explains how going big
impacts motivation – even if the result is a Big Fail. We speak
with Shah about the outcome of the recent UN Climate Conference in
Dubai (and the overwhelming presence of Big Oil), why he thinks
global institutions like the World Bank and the IMF need to be
revamped, and whether billionaire philanthropists are the answer to
the world’s woes (spoiler: they aren’t). Questions? Comments? Email
