The super-rich are shaping our world. Award-winning journalist Paul Vallely follows previous bestsellers Bad Samaritans & Pope Francis with Philanthropy. He takes us from the Greek man of honour, the Roman patron, the Jewish prophet and Christian scholastic to the Victorian moralist, the welfare socialist, the celebrity activist and today’s wealthy mega-giver. Exploring the successes, failures and contradictions of philanthrocapitalism, he asked tough questions of philanthropists and thinkers including Richard Branson, Jonathan Sacks and Soros chief Patrick Gaspard. He is joined by Joanne Black, philanthropist and a director of the Regatta Group in a conversation chaired by senior philanthropy advisor Lizzy Steinhart.
