Intro from backgroundbriefing.org host, Ian Masters:

On this New Years Day we continue our look back on the defining stories of the past year with our coverage examining our economic health and that of the global economy in what many see as a new gilded age. We begin with my interview from February 26th of 2019 with Anand Giridharadas, editor at large for Time Magazine and a former columnist for The New York Times about his new book “Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World”, an insider’s groundbreaking journey into the inner sanctums of the global elite of this new gilded age. We discuss the issue which exposed the emperors of Davos having no clothes which happened when Dutch historian Rutger Bregman cut through the sanctimonious talk of justice, equality and transparency by pointing out that “nobody raises the issue of tax avoidance and the rich not paying their fair share. It’s like going to a firefighter’s conference and not talking about water”.
