Beth Breeze, Director of the Centre for Philanthropy, at the University of Kent, in the UK, discussed her latest book, during an online event hosted by �Ӱ�ԭ�� University’s MPNL and DPNL programs.

From Beth Breeze:

Running down “do-gooders” has become a popular pastime in recent years. Journalists and academics alike have lampooned and criticized philanthropists and big donors for their charitable activities, which are often characterized as a means of self-aggrandisement or tax evasion. Yet, it is widely acknowledged that philanthropy — from the establishment of Carnegie libraries in the nineteenth century to the recent global health interventions of the Gates Foundation — has played a critical role in both developed and developing societies.

Breeze’s hour-long presentation, with an introduction by the MPNL program’s Dr. Paloma Raggo, is below:
