When Mc Kinsey Comes To Town by Walt Bogdanich

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.
