Anand Giridharadas testifies before the Dutch Parliament

Why the Super-Rich Won’t Change the World
Giridharadas was amazed when he received an invitation from the finance committee of the Dutch Parliament to discuss his book: Winners Take All, The Elite Charade of Changing the World. He had not expected to see the conservatives meet with him – but all parties showed up and engaged him for 1 1/2 hours. Giridharadas tweeted on October 17, 2019: They were something one rarely sees in politics: curious. They had more questions than answers. It was super-disorienting for an American.

Anand Giridharadas is editor-at-large for TIME magazine, an on-air political analyst for MSNBC, and a visiting scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. He had been invited by the Dutch Parliament to discuss his book: Winners Take All, The Elite Charade of Changing the World.
