      “If we're going to have true social change, it's going to come through the private sector," said billionaire hedge funder Paul Tudor Jones. Paul. PAUL. PPAAUULL. The only problem with this idea is that it is the opposite of what is true.https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1058490328930545665 …

      Again and again, people ask me: What’s the problem with ultra-rich people getting involved, doing good? The problem is they are so often incapable of merely getting involved. Having run their businesses, they insist on running social change.

      Never get in a car with a philanthrocapitalist like Paul Tudor Jones, because they don’t know how to stay in their lane. Having done well at hedge funds, exacerbating the inequality he claims to deplore, he now swerves confidently into knowing how social change should be run.

      When the winners of our age take over change, they change change. They defang change. We cannot get real change when it is led by those with the most to lose from change.

      Let me put it in a way Paul, who once reached out to me seeking a public dialogue and then withdrew after he heard my ideas, may understand: “If we’re going to have a better hedge fund industry, it’s going to be led by anesthesiologists.” That is how arbitrary your plan sounds.

          "he now swerves confidently into knowing how social change should be run." Speak also about economics of moving $$ away from public institutions (the very ones who used to be respons. for managing areas/functions of social life) so to keep $ lassoed in the loop of priv. sectors

          Randian libertarianism alone never is popular beyond 5% people wherever it has been tried unless mixed with nativism and religion

          Paul, like #Zuck, fundamentally misreads history&forgets that even Rockefeller was struck down by SCOTUS&his empire broken in 23 pieces. History is a useful guide that a hubristic+ahistoriscal America wilfully rejects, to its peril. (i know that's a lot of adjectives :)

          Also, too much of what we know as capitalism means that people believe that those with the most money are the smartest people in our society, an anaesthetic side effect of the so-called American Dream.

          Anand, earnest question: What should "winners" who actually want to create positive social change do, if not try? I understand yr point is that many of them don't truly want change. But surely some do. So, I understand your critique but not your prescription: how should it work?

          But when you ask conservatives to sit on same table they will only agree on reducing military and perhaps reducing corporate welfare.

          The public sector cannot exist in a prosperous society without a healthy private sector. If you aim to hamstring our private sector competitors from other countries will finish it off and we will all suffer for it.
