"Business-Inspired Philanthropy: Hope, Hype and Reality"
The event featured Micheal Edwards discussing philanthrocapitalism along with Joanna Jacobson, Andrew Hahn and Dean Lisa Lynch. Edwards' book, Just Another Emporer? The Myths and Realities of Philanthrocapitalism lays bare the myths surrounding philanthropy and shows it to be exactly what it is - an essential part of our capitalist system with all the flaws found elsewhere. Edwards takes a critical look at this new philanthrocapitalism phenomenon and argued that despite its great potential, the movement is oversold in both its proposed means and promised ends.
