Winners Take All (2018)Anand Giridharadas
Chapter 1 of Winners Take All follows Hilary Cohen, a Georgetown senior in 2014, as she grapples with how to change the world amid the prevailing neoliberal ideology. The chapter explores Cohen's background, her intellectual development influenced by Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, and the socio-political context of rising inequality and social movements during her college years. It contrasts the idealism of Cohen's generation, shaped by market-oriented values and the ethos of 'doing well by doing good,' with the more radical, system-challenging activism of previous generations.
