Requests:  0 Summary:  "An inside look at the secretive world of elite philanthropists--and how they're quietly wielding ever more power to shape American life in ways both good and bad. While media attention focuses on famous philanthropists such as Bill Gates and Charles Koch, thousands of donors are at work below the radar promoting a wide range of causes. David Callahan charts the rise of these new power players and the ways they are converting the fortunes of a second Gilded Age into influence. He shows how this elite works behind the scenes on education, the environment, science, LGBT rights, and many other issues--with deep impact on government policy. Above all, he shows that the influence of the Givers is only just beginning, as new waves of billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg turn to philanthropy. Based on extensive research and interviews with countless donors and policy experts, this is not a brief for or against the Givers, but a fascinating investigation of a power shift in American society that has implications for us all"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 361.74097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.74097 Callah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.74097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.74097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.74097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 361.74097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.74097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList
