An examination of how today's leading philanthropists are revolutionizing the field, using new methods to have a vastly greater impact on the world.For philanthropists of the past, charity was often a matter of simply giving money away. For the philanthrocapitalists the new generation of billionaires who are reshaping the way they give it's like business. Largely trained in the corporate world, these 'social investors' are using bigbusinessstyle strategies and expecting results and accountability to match. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, is leading the way: he has promised his entire fortune to finding a cure for the diseases that kill millions of children in the poorest countries in the world.In Philanthrocapitalism, Matthew Bishop and Michael Green examine this new movement and its implications. Proceeding from interviews with some of the most powerful people on the planetincluding Gates, Bill Clinton, George Soros, Angelina Jolie, and Bono, among othersthey show how a web of wealthy, motivated donors has set out to change the world. Their results will have huge implications: In a climate resistant to government spending on social causes, their focused donations may be the greatest force for societal change in our world, and a source of political controversy.Combining ontheground anecdotes, expert analysis, and upclose profiles of the wealthy and powerful, this is a fascinating look at a small group of people who will change an enormous number of lives.
