1. When Mc Kinsey Comes To Town
The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm
An investigative account of a powerful global consulting firm and the hidden ways its advice reshapes corporations and governments, often prioritizing efficiency and profit in ways that can produce public harm — notably its role in advising pharmaceutical clients during the opioid crisis — while operating with limited transparency, frequent conflicts of interest, and little accountability, raising urgent questions about the ethics and oversight of private advisers to public and corporate institutions.

2. When Mc Kinsey Comes To Town
The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm
A probing, investigative account of how a single elite consulting firm quietly shapes far-reaching decisions across corporations and governments, often prioritizing client profit and firm secrecy over public welfare; drawing on internal documents and reporting, it traces the firm’s advisory role in contentious cases—from corporate restructurings and privatizations to the opioid epidemic and energy-sector strategies—and shows how conflicts of interest, opaque practices, and limited accountability can produce widespread social harm while enhancing the company’s power and profits.
