Though we may laud wealthy individuals who give away their money for society's benefit, \u003ci\u003eJust Giving\u003c\/i\u003e shows how such generosity not only isn't the unassailable good we think it to be but might also undermine democratic values. Big philanthropy is often an exercise of power, the conversion of private assets into public influence. And it is a form of power that is largely unaccountable and lavishly tax-advantaged. Philanthropy currently fails democracy, but Rob Reich argues that it can be redeemed. \u003ci\u003eJust Giving\u003c\/i\u003e investigates the ethical and political dimensions of philanthropy and considers how giving might better support democratic values and promote justice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRob Reich\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of political science and codirector of the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at Stanford University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 05, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52720783917363,"sku":"9780691202273","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dGEzaUhMODFjWWlWT3FUZ1MvTDNtQT09_ddff92dd-0edb-4f34-851b-0c2463f9012f.webp?v=1763622154","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/just-giving-why-philanthropy-is-failing-democracy-and-how-it-can-do-better-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
