Philanthrocapitalism: How Giving Can Save the World
A decent introduction to the giving patterns of the 1%, but this book has several major failings. First, published in 2008 the book cannot take into account the changes in philanthropy due to the financial crisis, nor can it recognize the general population's frustration with the super rich. Second, the book's central thesis- the rich can make a big difference by giving away their money- isn't exactly rocket science. Bishop and Green rely too much on name dropping and a few case studies/interviews to make a not so unique point.
Overall the book does provide a decent introduction to some of the big names in philanthropy, but it doesn't make much of an argument and feels more like an attempt to feel self-important by dropping a bunch of names rather than a rigorous argument.
