When Mckinsey Comes to Town

**A TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022** An explosive exposé of a firm whose work has made your world more unequal, more corrupt and more dangerous. McKinsey & Company have earned billions consulting almost every major corporation in the world - and countless governments, including our own. Shielded by NDAs, their practices have remained vague - until now. In this propulsive investigation, prize-winning journalists Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe reveal the jaw-dropping reality. McKinsey's work includes ruthless cost-cutting in the NHS, troubleshooting for Big Oil, executing Trump's immigration policies (the ones that put children in cages) as well as advising some of the world's most unsavoury despots.
