CHAPTER 2
Chapter 2 critiques the 'win-win' ideology prevalent in MarketWorld, illustrating how well-intentioned businesspeople like Stacey Asher and Justin Rosenstein attempt to solve social problems through market-based solutions without challenging systemic issues. The chapter exposes the contradictions of such approaches, highlighting how financial elites often overlook or perpetuate the root causes of inequality and exploitation, such as vulture funds harming African nations or the disconnect between productivity gains and wage stagnation in the U.S.
