wealth? the place does starting place cash come from, and is there a rigidity among a
foundation’s ongoing resources of source of revenue and its pursuit of public stable? How are
foundations regulated and held liable in society? Is there any evidence
that foundations are powerful in what they do? Is it attainable to have too much
philanthropy? In posing those questions, the booklet explores many of the key
tensions in how foundations paintings, and their position in democratic societies.
