Overview

""Intelligent Philanthropy"" is a seminal collection of essays that explores the intersection of social science, ethics, and charitable action. Edited by Ellsworth Faris, Ferris Laune, and Arthur J. Todd, this work brings together diverse perspectives from leading scholars to examine the underlying principles of effective giving.
