This is a short review of Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World by Anand Giridharadas.  "This is a book that thoroughly skews the elite view of progress, social change, and the appropriate role of the market in society. This a book that utterly takes apart the self-regarding culture that pervades elite gatherings such as TED Talks and the Davos World Economic Forum." I think Joshua Kim meant 'skewers', not 'skews'. Either way, worth a look.
