Reviews

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*
