Winners Take All
With Teddy Schleifer
Today's elites are some of the more socially concerned individuals in history. Yet, according to journalist and writer Anand Giridharadas, while their philanthropic missions may attempt to reform the root causes of unjust systems, many elite initiatives serve only to maintain the very power structures they claim they want to fix. So, who really benefits? To what extent are the elite working to create real progress and systemic change for people and communities? Giridharadas is joined onstage by Teddy Schleifer, Senior Reporter at Recode, for an in-depth discussion on elite leaders and how communities might work together to create a more participatory democracy.
Anand Giridharadas is the bestselling author of Winners Take All, The True American and India Calling as well as an editor-at-large for TIME, an on-air political analyst for MSNBC and a visiting scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. A former columnist and correspondent for the New York Times, he has written for the Atlantic, New Republic and New Yorker.
Teddy Schleifer covers how people of means -- first in politics and now in technology -- shape the world in which everyone else lives. Prior to joining Recode in 2017, Teddy wrote about money in politics for CNN, charting the billions of dollars raised and spent in the 2016 presidential election and the personalities, lawsuits and infighting behind that gusher of cash. At Recode, Teddy writes about a new moneyed world: The investments and power struggles across the tech industry.
