Edward Elgar The Economics Of Philanthropy And Fundraising 2 Vols Edition 2015 by Edited by James Andreoni
What are people buying when they give money away? Is pure altruism possible? Who benefits from grants to charities and subsidies to givers? Is religious giving different? Which fundraising approaches work and is more charity always better? Questions like these make philanthropy and fundraising among the most dynamic research areas in economics today. Including an original introduction this two-volume collection guides both students and scholars from the time when giving was seen as irrational to the present when economics has fully embraced the complex and fascinating challenges of understanding why self-interested people can be so unselfish.
