Burning Down UNESCO: A Guide To Innovative Fundraising

By a curious set of circumstances Howard Burton found himself hired as a fundraising consultant at UNESCOs Paris headquarters. Overwhelmed by the bureaucratic double-speak and smug complacency that he encountered everywhere he went he decided to use his clear-eyed analytical skills to ask a very different sort of question: What exactly was UNESCO doing that was actually worth funding in the first place?Filled with his customary dry wit and penetrating observations this book is another insightful and provocative work of societal commentary from the author of First Principles: Building Perimeter Institute and Exceptionally Upsetting: How Americans are increasingly confusing knowledge with opinion & what can be done about it.
