Most people now associate philanthropy with donations of money by
the rich to good causes. It has not always been so. The Reputation
of Philanthropy explores how our modern definition came about and
asks why praise for philanthropy and philanthropists has always
been matched by criticism. Were we really capable of loving all of
humankind? Was it possible that what was thought of as philanthropy
might create a dependency class and do more harm than good? Was it
sensible to focus so much on far away places to the neglect of the
poor at home? Deeply researched, timely and accessible, this book
will inform today's thinking about the role that philanthropy
should play in British society. The criticisms of philanthropy in
the past have telling echoes in the present. -- .
