We Americans revere the creation of wealth. Anand Giridharadas wants us to examine this and how it shapes our life together. This is a challenging conversation but a generative one: about the implicit moral equations behind a notion like \u201cwin-win\u201d \u2014 and the moral compromises in a cultural consensus we\u2019ve reached, without reflecting on it, about what and who can save us.\nAnand Giridharadas is a journalist and writer. He is a former columnist and foreign correspondent for \u201cThe New York Times\u201d and a visiting scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. He is the author of \u201cIndia Calling,\u201d \u201cThe True American,\u201d and \u201cWinners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World.\u201d\nThis interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode \u201cAnand Giridharadas \u2014 When the Market Is Our Only Language.\u201d Find more at onbeing.org.
