Extreme philanthropy: Philanthrocapitalism, effective altruism, and the discourse of neoliberalism

This article critically examines "extreme philanthropy," encompassing philanthrocapitalism and effective altruism, within the broader discourse of neoliberalism. It analyzes how these modern philanthropic approaches, often characterized by market-based principles and data-driven decision-making, align with or challenge neoliberal ideologies. The authors explore the implications of these trends for civil society, social justice, and democratic participation, raising questions about the concentration of power and influence in philanthropic endeavors and their societal impact.
