From The New Yorker: ‘What Money Can Buy‘

I’ll just leave these here:
‘Should Women’s Agency and Racial/Ethnic/Indigenous Justice be grouped under the larger heading of Inclusion? What about Human Rights Architecture and Imagining Inclusive Capitalism?’
That sounds important:
‘Did each thematic area lend itself to a race, class, and gender analysis? Did each strategy support the agency and voice of marginalized groups? Besides the thematic areas and strategies, there were also “lines of work,” “sets,” “challenges,” and “lenses,” and there was a certain lack of clarity on the difference between these things.’
How the money was made = Who eventually gets their hands on the money.
(addition: That should read as ‘not equal’, as this is a very professional site).
