Více o knize

Drawing on two decades covering global development, Raj Kumar explores how non-traditional models of philanthropy and aid are empowering the world's poorest people to make progree. Old aid was driven by good intentions and relied on big-budget projects from a few government aid agencies. Today, corporations, Silicon Valley startups, and billionaire philanthropists are a disrupting force pushing global aid to be data driven and results oriented. This $200 billion industry includes emerging and established foundations as well as entrepreneurial startups which are giving rise to a new culture of charity. Bold and eye-opening, The business of changing the world introduces readers to a world where all of us can have a hand in ending extreme poverty within our lifetimes
