    How do we understand the nature of the relationship btw philanthropy and democracy & the imperative for the former to yield as much as possible to the latter when our political system is increasingly defined by anti-democratic elements? Asking for a friend.

    Good thread (& responses). As I've said to , my experience has left me pessimistic that a philanthropic model can do much good for an egalitarian ideology. There's an inherent tension between the ideology & how the organizations whose ostensible mission it is work.

    4: Forget for a sec whether they are progressive funders ready to give to radical econ think tanks & research/policy shops. How much would an infusion of philanthropic capital actually help new left economics? Could it profitable absorb significant funding? New institutions?

    3: And we know that the spread of neoliberalism itself can't just be explained as a natural outgrowth of disappointments of midcent Keynessianism; it was greased by conservative $$. But I'm mulling over how much it makes to take conservative philanthropy as model.

    2: The article presents recent upsurge in thinking on radical economics as natural outgrowth of evident failures of neoliberalism & there's obv truth to that, but it also details network of think tanks and research institution, w/ talking much abt their funding.

    1: I read this useful primer on rise of new left economics in GB thinking of recent convos on impact of conservative philanthropy & qstn I've been mulling over: is there a place for elite philanthropy in spread of radical & progressive political economy?

    4: But part of Broad's realization abt the limits of philanthropy stems from the sorts of giving that billionaires tend to do. In that respect, calling for a wealth tax, while def. admirably, isn't enough. Change the way you give.

    3: structure more generally--he can use his enormous wealth to promote that system by funding grassroots, movement building. THat's in his power (while a nat. election isn't bringing in a Dem. president itsn't) Sure, philanthropy by itself isn't enough to eradicate inequality.

    2: That is, Broad's philanthropy to this point hasn't had a social justice focus to it. He's spent a lot of $ on charter schools & there's plenty of debate abt how egalitarian an institution they are. If Broad wants a more just, equitable tax system--and a more egalitarian social

    1: As writes, this is an important call from Broad, hardly a radical. But I've got one problem with this justice, not philanthropy, argument. Which is the two are not *necessarily* at odds--tho the wealthy have an interest in maintaining the duality. Do both.
