All political commentary aside, this is a good book to add to your mental library and even your bookshelves. It's a personal account of the global issues related to giving, philanthropy and the evolution of nonprofit organizations.
It includes inspiring stories and background about some of the largest foundations in the world. "Giving" is an easy read and complements any type of technical book you may have read on the subject. Don't let your politics keep you away. I've been in awe, welled up with tears and let out a giggle or two when reading this book.
While it is written from the author's perspective and published before our current economic doom and gloom, it's a brilliant time table for the birth of contemporary philanthropy. It's honest and wise. I recommend it wholeheartedly to my Savvy readers.
~Cheers
