His name is Anand Giridharadas a journalist and Editor at large to Time magazine along with other news outlets with a book he published two years back called &#8221; Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World &#8220;. After seeing him interviewed one day on a business <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ol2RQQ6RXpQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">network<\/a> I was impressed and purchased his book not long after.
