Description
In Defence of Philanthropy by Beth Breeze is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of philanthropy in society. Critics have long accused philanthropists and big donors of self-aggrandisement or tax evasion, but Breeze argues that this criticism overlooks the significant positive impact of philanthropic efforts. From the establishment of Carnegie libraries to modern-day global health interventions, philanthropy has played a critical role in both developed and developing societies. In this impassioned defence, Breeze tackles the main critiques levelled at philanthropy and makes a compelling case for why it should be celebrated and championed. By examining the complexities of philanthropy, Breeze sheds light on the importance of this sector in promoting an abundance of causes and interests. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of philanthropy's role in society.
