Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Raj Kumar well-researched book focuses on philanthropy by such billionaires Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and others.

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.An industry review of the "global aid industry". Author presents a different perspective from the more traditional models of the past used in international development. Advocates for results oriented giving which requires a deeper focus on measurement and evaluation. Recommended for anyone who gives money to international causes. It will be eye opening.
