“Real change asks those with power to give something up."
Journalist, essayist, and political commentator, Anand Giridharadas examines the structures of power, wealth, and democracy shaping contemporary society. His writing challenges comfortable narratives about social change, asking who benefits from systems that claim to solve the world’s greatest problems. His bestselling book Winners Take All sparked an international debate about philanthropy, inequality, and the responsibilities of economic elites.
During his residency, Anand Giridharadas started his forthcoming book, Man in the Mirror: Hope, Struggle, and Belonging in an American City (due September 2026), brought his incisive reflections on democracy, inequality, and philanthropy into conversation with audiences in Paris and Brussels. His program included events at ESSEC, Philanthro-Lab, and AFIELD, as well as a press salon and an intimate private lunch at Résidence Tallard.
