Enduring Ideas: The Problem of Philanthropy

The fourth in our Enduring Ideas series of lectures


Philanthropy rouses passionate debate among both advocates and detractors. But, why are philanthropists regarded as paternalistic, even elitist? Do the benefits of giving outweigh such negative perceptions? Is philanthropy undermining the contemporary welfare state consensus? Join Dr Beth Breeze, University of Kent and a panel who will discuss. Chaired by Sir Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive of NCVO.

In partnership with the Academy of Social Sciences.
