leftist political commentators that I admire
Anand Giridharadas. This guy has an amazing moral compass, and I find most of his arguments compelling (not that all leftists rely on shrill moralizing instead of facts and figures, but...). This is a random sampling of the videos and articles that he's authored:
"'Winners Take All' and the Paradox of Elite Philanthropy", an interview on The Daily Show
"It Is Immoral To Be A Billionaire", a debate at the Oxford Union Society
"The End Of Democracy May Just Be Permanent Minority Rule", an interview on MSNBC
a conversation at Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center on the perils of philanthropy and policy in the hands of the global elite
