Ben Waber reviewed Elite Capture by Olufemi O. Taiwo
A Brief but Compelling Philosophical Treatise
4 stars
Táíwò lays out a compelling case that powerful people/institutions tend to twist even structures meant to amplify the influence of marginalized groups. I would've liked this to be longer, since what I consider to be legitimate questions around the importance of expertise in some settings isn't addressed. That being said, I loved how Táíwò casts a wide net here, constantly making the rounds internationally for cases or to interrogate different topics. Highly recommend
