Joining us for a discussion of the of effectiveness of philanthropy are: Rob Reich, Professor of Political Science and Ethics in Society at Stanford University, and Kathleen McCarthy, Director of the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at CUNY (More info on the Center ยปhere). Rob Reich is also the author of an article titled "The Failure of Philanthropy" in the upcoming issue of the Stanford Social Innovation Review.
