“The definitive book on philanthropy –  a deep and probing study of an increasingly powerful force in our world,” JOHN GRAY Emeritus Professor of European Thought, London School of Economics

Comprehensive and panoramic” BETH BREEZE Director of the Centre for Philanthropy, University of Kent

Deeply researched and wonderfully written …  a powerful call for philanthropy to do a better job of melding empathy with effectiveness” DAVID CALLAHAN, Editor of Inside Philanthropy
