A splendid polemic. . . Giridharadas writes brilliantly on the
parasitic philanthropy industry
*Economist*
Trenchant, provocative and well-researched. . . Read it and
beware
*Financial Times Books of the Year*
Hugely enjoyable. . . A spirited examination of the hypocrisy of
the super-rich who claim they are helping the world
*Guardian*
Entertaining and gripping . . . For those at the helm, the
philanthropic plutocrats and aspiring "change agents" who believe
they are helping but are actually making things worse, it's time
for a reckoning with their role in this spiraling dilemma
*New York Times Book Review*
Giridharadas isn't afraid to speak his mind, even if it means
taking down some of the most powerful people on the planet. . . He
has started a movement with this scathing critique of a society
that rewards monopolistic models, faux philanthropy and protects
the interests of a wealthy few
*Forbes*
A fierce book. . . What gives Giridharadas's heartfelt critique
such force is that he is a heretic, someone chosen for the
equivalent of the priesthood in the new religion of philanthropy
who had a revelation and decided to renounce the faith
*The Times*
