The charitable sector is one of the fastest-growing industries in the global economy. Nearly half of the more than 85,000 private foundations in the United States have come into being since the year 2000. Just under 5,000 more were established in 2011 alone. This deluge of philanthropy has helped create a world where billionaires wield more power over education policy, global agriculture, and global health than ever before. In No Such Thing as a Free Gift, author and academic Linsey McGoey puts this new golden age of philanthropy under the microscope-paying particular attention to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As large charitable organizations replace governments as the providers of social welfare, their largesse becomes suspect. The businesses fronting the money often create the very economic instability and inequality the foundations are purported to solve. We are entering an age when the ideals of social justice are dependent on the strained rectitude and questionable generosity of the mega-rich.

Congressman Bernie Sanders promises free things to his voters, but his voters and him don't seem to understand the term 'free.' This brings me back to the old saying that goes 'There is no such things as a free lunch.' Everyone who supports Bernie needs to read and seriously think about this phrase, because the 'free' that Bernie promises is anything but free. With more government control, more government programs, and more government money going to things like university tuition and healthcare, taxes are going to skyrocket. I mean, the money has to come from somewhere. The professors, administrators, and government officials over education need to get paid; and the government is never known for doing things effectively and cheaply. Plus, the healthcare professionals and doctors need to get paid and that money has to come from somewhere. But, many of Bernie's supporters and Bernie himself don't seem to understand this fact. Yes, I might get free university tuition, but I will be paying exorbitant taxes. Not to mention, we are giving much more power to the government over our health and education. This is scary to me. All these poems are taken straight from Bernie Sanders' twitter. I changed none of the spellings, grammar, or wording. The only thing I did was add line breaks to give the tweets a feeling of free verse poetry.

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 big-business-style 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 planet-including Gates, Bill Clinton, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and Bono, among others-they show how a web of wealthy, motivated donors has set out to change the world.

Argues that despite the media lionization of corporate headloppers and ruthless investors, the gift still constitutes the foundation of even our own society. Describes the gift not as an object but as a social connection that creates an obligation to respond in kind. Finds examples in blood and organ donation, volunteer work, bonds between friends and couples, Santa Clause, and the relationship between performer and audience and artist and society. Originally published as L'Esprit du don by Les Editions La Decouverte and du Boreal in 1992. Canadian card order number: C98-900801-0. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Recent inquiries into the concept of the gift have been largely male-dominated and thus have ignored important aspects of the gift from a woman's point of view. In the light of philosophical work by Mauss, Lévi-Strauss, Derrida, and Bataille, Women and the Gift reflects how women respond to the notion of the gift and relationships of giving. This collection evaluates and critiques previous work on the gift and also responds to how women view care, fidelity, generosity, trust, and independence in light of the gift.

'Free of jargon, obfuscation and interminable subordinate clauses, his prose is just the job' The Times A fully updated and revised edition of the classic guide. The economy has never been so relevant to so many people as it is now. 'There's no such thing as a free lunch' is the one phrase everyone has heard from economics. But why not? What does economics tell us about the price of lunch - and everything else? Set out like a good lunchtime conversation, Free Lunch will escort you through the mysteries of the economy. Your guides will be some of the greatest names in the field, including Smith, Marx and Keynes. This clever and witty introduction to economics is essential reading in these times of economic uncertainty, and far more satisfying than even the most gourmet banquet.
