This is a question that is being increasingly asked among scholars of philanthropy and some activists. While the idea of philanthrocapitalism is still around, there is increasing skepticism in the ability and willingness of the super-rich to help the less fortunate amongst us. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and other billionaires have shaped our world in many ways, both in good ways and bad. The question is not whether they have an impact, but how.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John D. Rockefeller &amp; Carnegie: Remnants of an era gone by, or models for our time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/early-20th-century-us\/john-d-rockefeller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John D.Rockefeller<\/a>\u00a0and Carnegie embodied a \u2018gilded age,\u2019 which was known for its corruption and ties between businesses and politics. Perhaps much more than the age we live in, today. Carnegie\u2019s greatest legacy may be the idea of funding and establishing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carnegie_library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">libraries<\/a>, which are in some ways the great equalizer.<\/p>\n<p>Carnegie\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnegie.org\/about\/our-history\/gospelofwealth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gospel of Wealth<\/a>\u00a0is an important text in American philanthropy and his ideas of giving away wealth while alive has become popular. One of his most famous quotes in the book is \u201cThe man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.\u201d \u00a0When Carnegie wrote that \u201cThe problem of our age is the proper administration of wealth, so that the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich and poor in harmonious relationship. The conditions of human life have not only been changed but revolutionized, within the past few hundred years,\u201d he may well have been writing about us, in 2020. The fact that access to healthcare is so disproportionate in the U.S. of today is a tragedy. Media reports point to over\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2020\/04\/07\/coronavirus-is-infecting-killing-black-americans-an-alarmingly-high-rate-post-analysis-shows\/?arc404=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">70 percent of deaths in Chicago<\/a>\u00a0from COVID-19 being that of African-Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst such catastrophic outcomes, we need government intervention in the form of stronger policies, but also support from foundations, individuals and community-based groups, to help fix some of these disparities.<\/p>\n<p>While there is a section of American society that is deeply suspicious of hi-networth donors \u2013 and rightly so \u2013 one cannot deny the fact that those with a lot of wealth can and have made significant positive contributions to public life. John D Rockefeller helped establish the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchicago.edu\/about\/history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Chicago,<\/a>\u00a0for instance.<\/p>\n<p>The emergence of the \u2018new philanthropy\u2019 which is based on measuring return on investment and is based on what Sean Parker has called a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2015\/11\/25\/how-the-gates-foundation-reflects-the-good-and-the-bad-of-hacker-philanthropy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018hacker\u2019<\/a>\u00a0mindset is in vogue. As Michael Massing points out, Gates has single-handedly shaped Education policy in the U.S. Whether this is a good thing remains in question, given that education is a public good. Some of the bigger questions in this space remain unsettled and there are massive inequities when it comes to access to education, especially\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/techtank\/2020\/03\/17\/what-the-coronavirus-reveals-about-the-digital-divide-between-schools-and-communities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital access,<\/a>\u00a0as we are witnessing during COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/givingpledge.org\/About.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Giving Pledge<\/a>\u00a0is an off-shoot of the idea of giving away one\u2019s wealth that Carnegie came up with. This notion has caught on globally, though its uptick has been somewhat slow in Asia and parts of Africa.<\/p>\n<p>One of the bigger problems with hi-networth giving is the \u2018expressive giving\u2019 that drives many of them. What this means is that rich people give to causes that drive them, at a personal level. There is a sense of strong involvement among many of these folks, who are driven to make a difference around them, for various reasons. Whether it is promoting religious freedoms or healthcare, the one who writes the check wields an enormous amount of influence over the one who receives it. In a context where this can mean shaping a nation\u2019s public health or the education system, this is a slippery slope; despite the good intentions of the donor.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Gates has also received a lot of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/oct\/24\/no-such-thing-free-gift-gates-foundation-philanthropy-review\">flak<\/a>\u00a0in recent years. His failed educational ventures, with the start and closure of private schools and about turn on this key sector is seen as a big failing. As The Guardian quotes him as saying \u201cThe overall impact of the intervention, particularly the measure we care most about\u00a0\u2013 whether [pupils] go to college \u2013\u00a0it\u00a0didn\u2019t move the needle much \u2026 We\u00a0didn\u2019t see a path to having a big impact, so we did a mea culpa on that.\u201d Such mea culpas are expensive and heart-wrenching, when they impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of kids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Bill Gates the new Andrew Carnegie of our times?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Gates Foundation has spent considerable amounts on public health and has achieved quite a bit of good in the world, but at the same time has an outsized influence on global health policies. How one interprets that is open to question. Some may call it philanthropic, while others may call it non-democratic. A stricter version would even call it hegemonic influence. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/04\/17\/technology\/bill-gates-virus-conspiracy-theories.html\">rightwing<\/a>\u00a0media has more recently started attacking\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6Af6b_wyiwI\">Mr.Gates<\/a>\u00a0for altogether different reasons: his advocacy of stay-at-home orders, differing with Mr. Trump and his followers. His advocacy of preparedness for epidemics has been consistent. His support for this effort is admirable.<\/p>\n<p>Philanthropy\u2019s goal ultimately should be the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neh.gov\/divisions\/fedstate\/resource\/philanthropy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">betterment of lives<\/a>. This is a goal that all of us agree upon. The divergence seems to be on how to get there. This is an area where all stakeholders \u2013 givers of money, recipients, and entities that govern it should come together and hash this out. In this regard, Carnegie\u2019s advice of giving away one\u2019s wealth during one\u2019s lifetime may be the best advice for anyone who has a lot of wealth. The gospel of wealth may be a good reminder for our billionaire class, perhaps?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabith Khan In the past few weeks, I have received multiple requests for donations, mainly from nonprofits and individuals I know.
