Running down "do-gooders" has become a popular pastime in recent
years. Journalists and academics alike have lampooned and
criticized philanthropists and big donors for their charitable
activities, which are often characterized as a means of
self-aggrandisement or tax evasion. Yet, it is widely acknowledged
that philanthropy - from the establishment of Carnegie libraries in
the nineteenth century to the recent global health interventions of
the Gates Foundation - has played a critical role in both developed
and developing societies. In an impassioned defence of the role of
philanthropy in society, Beth Breeze tackles the main critiques
levelled at philanthropy and questions the rationale for
undermining and disparaging philanthropic acts. She contends that
although it might be flawed, philanthropy is a sector that ought to
be celebrated and championed so that an abundance of causes and
interests can flourish.
