Introduction / New philanthropy and social transformation : -- Philanthropy and its critics: a history / From love to money: can philanthropy ever foster social transformation? / Does economic theory lead to a cynical view of philanthropy? / From philanthropy to philanthropists / Philanthrocapitalism and the process of commodification : -- Philanthrocapitalism, biodiversity conservation and development / Philanthrocapitalism, ʻpro poorʼ agricultural biotechnology and development / Philanthropy and social protection : -- Philanthropy and the new politics of social policy / Charity, philanthropy and development in Colombo, Sri Lanka / Social justice, liberalism and philanthropy: the tensions and limitations of British foundations / Charity deserts and social justice: exploring variations in the distribution of charitable organisations and their resources in England / Behrooz Morvaridi -- Hugh Cunningham -- Michael Edwards -- Samuel Cameron -- Tom Parr -- -- George Holmes -- Sally Brooks -- -- Ayşe Buğra -- Filippo Osella, Roderick Stirrat and Tom Widger Philanthropists, civil society and international evelopment Part 1. Part 2. Part 3.
"There is a broad consensus that traditional philanthropy has the potential to be transformative and address inequalities and injustices, as well as provide relief to the poor. Over the last two decades individual capitalists and private corporations have become increasingly involved in philanthropy, often through foundations targeted at helping to reduce social problems associated with poverty, disease and food insecurity. This important book questions the political and ideological reasons behind rich individuals and large companies choosing to engage in poverty reduction through philanthropy. The question of concern is not whether new philanthropy is good or bad, but what motivates this form of giving and whether the sources of new philanthropy funding are legitimate. The book argues that this new philanthropy risks being a sticking plaster without long-term results, because it fails to tackle social injustice or the structural reasons for inequality. It will be of value to academics, upper-level undergraduates and postgraduates in politics, sociology, economics and development studies."--
