The Bill Gates Problem by Tim Schwab

A probing critique of how concentrated philanthropic power has been used to shape global priorities, tracing how massive, technocratic bets in health, education and climate policy can produce innovation but also entrench market-friendly solutions, distort research agendas, influence institutions and democratic decision-making, and privilege private interests over public accountability; the book combines reporting on specific interventions with analysis of the structural risks posed by billionaire-driven agendas and argues for greater transparency, pluralism and oversight in how large-scale philanthropy is deployed.
