New Philanthropy and Social Justice

This book critically examines "new philanthropy " driven by wealthy individuals and corporations. Through essays that discuss philanthrocapitalism, community development, and neoliberal influence, it questions whether contemporary philanthropic practices advance social justice or merely reinforce existing inequalities. It argues for deeper analysis of power, legitimacy, and long-term impact. The collection challenges conventional narratives of philanthropy as inherently benevolent, urging readers to consider its potential role in perpetuating systemic injustices. It provides a platform for critical discourse on the ethical implications and societal consequences of modern philanthropic trends.
