Joel Fleishman
Joel Fleishman knows the sector like few others, and in this groundbreaking book he explains both the history of foundations - with their fledgling beginnings in the era of the robber barons seeking social respectability - through to the present day.
This book shows how, why foundations matters, and how the future of foundations can provide a vital spur to the engine of the American, and the world's, economy - if they are properly established and run.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Any budding philanthropist who aspires to make a better world...should read Joel Fleishman's wise book." (The Economist)
"[Fleishman] has been engaged in a lifelong 'lover's quarrel' with foundations. His book is a form of tough love." (The Wall Street Journal)

For me, as someone who has worked in the nonprofit sector for about a decade (and at a private foundation for the past two years), I didn't really pick up interest until the last few chapters. Someone less experienced would appreciate the beginning as a good understanding of the history and current state of foundations in society. When the author began discussing more nuanced, opinionated topics, such as the merits of foundation perpetuity, my interest piqued.
I was also happy to hear an overarching criticism of foundation transparency. This is something that does not get much discussion publicly, and I am glad the author addressed it. One decade later, however, the fact that the problem persists only underscores the fact that self-regulation, unfortunately, will not suffice.
The author seemingly has some differing opinions than me as it relates to some topics, and I wish he would give more attention to some counter arguments. Nonetheless, he still presents ideas thoughtfully and with good insights.
The narration can be a tad dry. However, this can also be perhaps because the subject matter is somewhat academic in nature.
Decent book, especially for beginners of understanding the role of foundations and philanthropy in America.
Good insightful book, especially for beginners
