"I was not interested in a theoretical conversation about capitalism and markets and democracy without noting that we had on the call an economic arsonist who was now being brought on as a firefighting expert," Giridharadas added. Lundberg said some of the anti-Giridharadas crowd may have "rage quit" the conference in protest after the first few minutes of the writer's remarks.

It's behind a paywall, so I can't read it. But it certainly sounds like him. Did they not Google him before hiring him? Wish I could get a refund every time corporations don't meet my service expectations.

THAT'S MY BOY!!

I hope you’re happy, this is Glenn Hubbard now

Prophets seldom are well-received by worldly rulers. Well done, AnandWrites!

There's the door

“A man has no right to any opinion for which he is unwilling to accept evidence to the contrary”. This is unassailable logic. As such, whoever “rage quit” after Anand’s comments is emotionally and intellectually unfit to serve on any board. AnandWrites

wut's the problem? did he lie?

tfw the reaction both (a) proves the point, and (b) demonstrates the point Imagine having your head so far up your own ass that you're petulant about being held to account for a demonstrable parade of horribles. I'd love to the hear the audio.

When Anand Giridharadas was invited to speak at the National Association of Corporate Directors' annual summit, the writer — known for his sharp critiques of billionaires and the global elite — did not hold back.

Ok quit no one respects them

I wish I could demand a refund whenever I heard something I didn't like
