Excerpt
Jeremy Beer, The Philanthropic Revolution: An Alternative History of American Charity. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2015. $19.95. 134pp.…Beer, a founding partner of American Philanthropic and president of the American Ideas Institute argues that the historical displacement of charity by philanthropy represents a radical transformation of voluntary giving into a practice primarily intended to bring about social change. His alternative history discloses that charity is uniquely associated with personalist goods that philanthropy largely excludes. He proposes a new “philanthrolocalism”.
