Anand Giridharadas: Should Billionaires Exist?
Dec. 31, 2019, 7:46 p.m.
Are billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates the American Dream personified? Do they reflect a healthy economy? Or, as Senator Bernie Sanders has said, should billionaires not exist in the first place? Anand Giridharadas, Time magazine editor-at-large and author of "Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World," discusses why he agrees with Sanders.
This program is compiled from three excerpts:
On Dec 9, 2019, Anand Giridharadas was Steve Paikinâs guest on The Agenda, TV Ontarioâs renowned current affairs program.

Two months earlier, on Oct 8, 2019, Anand Giridharadas had been the guest on The Daily Show. The host, Trevor Noah, got into a fiery exchange with Giridharadas about his best selling book: âWinners Take Allâ and the Paradox of Elite Philanthropy.

The last segment is from: A Nation Brought to You by Billionaires from Anand Giridharadasâ YouTube channel
On Dec. 17, 2018 Anand Giridharadas took the stage at In Your Face in New York City to present a list of corporate sponsors. And Giridharadas made it very clear that the sponsors he is thanking are not those of the show but those of all of America: âBecause what was supposed to be a republic by, for, and of the people is increasingly a nation brought to you by billionaires. And when billionaires are in charge of our schools, our politics, our arts, our news, and our public conversation, itâs important to keep them happy by thanking them for ruling us.â

Anand Giridharadasâ acclaimed book: Winners Take All, The Elite Charade of Changing the World offers a painstakingly researched analysis of a global elite who claim to be in the business of âchanging the worldâ while all the while preserving a status quo that favors their interests and obscures their role in causing the problems they later seek to solve.

Tonight, as we near the 61st anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, which burst forth upon the world on January 1 1959, Back in the USSR pays tribute to the men and women who made the first socialist revolution in the Western Hemisphere possible. These brave comrades of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, from Haydee Santamaria to Vilma Espin to Harry "Pombo" Villegas, were the people who would fundamentally challenge the legacy of colonialism, slavery, and patriarchy in Cuba. In doing so they were forced to confront capitalism and empire head-on, leading to the rise of a new country that has been a beacon of hope to those struggling for liberation all over the world ever since. This is our final episode of 2019, happy new year comrades and friends!

As people began seeing the elites' propaganda for what it is, new systems of social control were put into place. These included militarization of the police, new non-lethal weapons, a "prison-industrial complex," neutralizing the Bill of Rights, and CIA-supplied narcotics in the inner cities.
