Diana Leat considers\nthe following questions: Are philanthropic foundations more than warehouses of\nwealth? Where does foundation money come from, and is there a tension between a\nfoundation’s ongoing sources of income and its pursuit of public good? How are\nfoundations regulated and held accountable in society? Is there any evidence\nthat foundations are effective in what they do? Is it possible to have too much\nphilanthropy? In posing these questions, the book explores some of the key\ntensions in how foundations work, and their place in democratic societies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-06-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137482884\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-48289-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 185\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752422011020,"sku":"9781137482884","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137482884.jpg?v=1776577173","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137482884","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
