About this product

Product Information

Nearly half of the 75,000 private foundations in the United States were created in the past 10 years. About 5,000 more US philanthropic foundations are set up each year. The amount of money placed in philanthropic trusts helps to make the charitable sector one of the fastest growing industries in the global economy...Linsey McGoey looks at this new golden age of philanthropy, in particular, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and asks: is this money doing much good? Large charitable organizations are replacing government as the providers of social welfare while their businesses often support economic instability and compound global inequalities. The new generation of mega- donors see that there is good business in charity and ignore the division between good deeds and profits. Are we losing the idea of social justice in the face of market-based philanthropy?

Reviews
"The charitable model represented by the Gates Foundation is failing to address the root causes of inequality and ecological crisis. This path-breaking book is a sorely needed, historically grounded investigation into the difference between philanthropy and justice." --Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine "Fierce ... provocatively examines the power imbalances and ambiguities of charitable giving ... a clear-eyed and much-needed study." --Andy Beckett, Guardian "Picking up the cudgels wielded by Ida Tarbell and her fellow trustbusters, McGoey produces a startling report." -- Kirkus "A timely criticism of a society that allows an individual to accumulate such a distorting amount of financial power; it is an indictment of unaccountable power." -- Maclean's "A brave, intelligent and important book that raises vital questions about the full impact of a key source of the world's public health funding. As the book shows the drive to do good can raise a host of ethical and policy questions--many of which have not been considered or even acknowledged prior to this book." --Arthur Caplan, New York University "A book that is by equal measure provocative and compelling that finally gives a voice to concerns that many have silently harbored ... charts the speed of the Foundation's emergence and influence with conceptual fluency and historically referenced gusto that in parts left me gobsmacked." --Sophie Harman, Queen Mary, University of London "Impeccably researched and beautifully written, Linsey McGoey's book is the best and most complete examination of the Gates Foundation and the workings of big philanthropy. A must-read for anyone concerned with where the world is heading." --Michael Edwards, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Demos, "A brave, intelligent and important book that raises vital questions about the full impact of a key source of the world's public health funding." --Arthur Caplan, New York University "A book that is by equal measure provocative and compelling that finally gives a voice to concerns that many have silently harbored ... charts the speed of the Foundation's emergence and influence with conceptual fluency and historically referenced gusto that in parts left me gobsmacked." --Sophie Harman, Queen Mary, University of London
