Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.Raj Kumar well-researched book focuses on philanthropy by such billionaires Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and others. These billionaires are "disrupting" philanthropy by creating organizations and initiatives that may end poverty and give people what they really need. An interesting read.
Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.An industry review of the "global aid industry". Author presents a different perspective from the more traditional models of the past used in international development. Advocates for results oriented giving which requires a deeper focus on measurement and evaluation. Recommended for anyone who gives money to international causes. It will be eye opening.

This perspective is a necessary underpinning to beginning any discussion about the allocation of global aid - after all, if an option isn't effective, then it doesn't quite matter how noble the cause is.
