enjoyable read - very accessible to people who don't know anything about philanthropy (or capitalism!) the authors also include these cool boxes that give lots of intriguing history. Well done!

This is the most comprehensive guide that I've come across on contemporary global giving. And it's a really enjoyable and entertaining read to boot.
The authors put the mega-philanthropy of Bill Gates/Warren Buffet/Tom Hunter etc into context and give interesting insights (and a few juicy titbits) into the motivations of these donors and the pros and cons of their approach. Read it!
