These examples include the role of religion, the significance of cultural networks, and the interplay between civil diplomacy and international development, as well as individual case studies that challenge the very notion of philanthropy as a social good.\u003cbr\u003eLed by Ben Offiler and Rachel Williams, the authors demonstrate the benefits of embracing a broad definition of philanthropy, examining how American concepts including benevolence and charity have been used and interpreted by different groups and individuals in an effort to shape - and at least nominally to improve - people's lives both within and beyond the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Offiler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350151955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350151956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Ben Offiler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071388086527,"sku":"9781350151956","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d5fb775-2282-4cfd-b576-5f00048e5195.jpg?v=1685435798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-philanthropy-at-home-and-ben-offiler-9781350151956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
