Description: Philanthropy has long played a key role in our communities on local, national, and global scales. Yet if we have often assumed that giving is good, we must also step back and ask, “good for whom?” In recent years, more voices are raising questions and critically engaging philanthropy and the notions of the public good. In short, how do we know when philanthropy does the public good? In partnership with the Fulbright Commission A lecture by David King The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/good-philanthropy Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
