A father of two comes home from his shift at a steel mill. Within months, he's dead-electrocuted on equipment that hadn't been properly maintained. A grandmother in rural Kentucky takes her prescribed pain medication, unaware she's stepping onto a path that leads to addiction and despair. A young consultant at the world's most prestigious firm discovers the "change that matters" she was promised means helping coal companies maximize profits while the planet burns. These stories aren't isolated tragedies. They're connected by invisible threads leading back to the same place: a consulting firm so powerful yet so secretive that most people have never heard its name, even as it quietly reshapes everything from your healthcare costs to your job security. McKinsey & Company operates where power concentrates-in corporate boardrooms, government offices, and the inner circles of authoritarian regimes. With 34,000 employees across 65 countries, this elite firm attracts the brightest minds with an irresistible pitch: not just wealth and prestige, but the chance to solve the world's toughest problems. Yet this promise of purpose masks a troubling reality. McKinsey's fingerprints appear on some of modern society's most devastating failures, from the opioid epidemic to historic wealth inequality. The firm's genius lies in its business model-give advice, not orders, then disappear before consequences arrive.
