A gripping conversation for our Season 2 opener with Anand
Giridharadas, who says ‘I think the best thing to do with
billionaires would be to not have them anymore’.
Anand, with his many interviews and his brilliant best-selling
book, ‘Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World’,
has been described as ‘the scourge of plutocrats everywhere’.
In this fascinating conversation on the eve of the Davos World
Economic Forum, Anand asks why we would ever think that the people
responsible for today’s extreme inequality are capable of solving
it. Why do we think it is possible to magically benefit those at
the bottom whilst continuing to benefit those at the top? He shows
how so many billionaires have captured the whole idea of change and
revolution, using it instead to defend the status quo.
Anand looks at the power of language, and how the left has failed
to mount a defense against this onslaught from elites pretending to
‘change the world’. He believes that people are beginning to see
through the elite charade – and finds hope in this.
Presented by Nadia Daar and Nabil Ahmed.
