Thanks for sharing. I think their book is well worth reading, if you have the time and inclination. A couple other recommendations that come to mind are "Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World," by Anand Giridharadas (it's about the hollow and self-serving world of wealthy "philanthropists&quot , and "The Divide: Global Inequality from Conquest to Free Markets," by Jason Hickel (it talks about the ways rich countries siphon wealth away from developing countries).

Hope you're having a pleasant weekend!
