Product Description

Review

"Important. Well-written. Timely. Here in this wonderful book, Matthew Bishop and Michael Green shine a light on sparkling examples of effective philanthropy, and how some of the most accomplished people are trying to solve the world's most intractable problems. A superb portrait of a vital new force shaping the world today, Philanthrocapitalism deserves to be widely read." --Jim Collins, author of Good to Great

"A terrific book about how private money can help solve even the most difficult public problems. Philanthrocapitalism is the definitive guide to a new generation of philanthropists who understand innovation and risk-taking, and who will play a crucial part in solving the biggest problems facing the world." --Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York City

"Everything you need to know about the revolution underway in the world of philanthropy-its potential as well as its challenges. An indispensable book for anyone who cares about helping the world's four billion poor get a chance to live their dreams." --Hernando de Soto, author of The Mystery of Capital

5.0 out of 5 stars Philanthrocapitalism: How the Rich are Trying to Save the World and Why We Should Let Them, 19 Dec 2008
By S. Wixley "SW" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

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!
