Post Capitalist Philanthropy

Post capitalist philanthropy is a paradox in terms. A paradox is the appropriate starting place for the complex entangled messy context we find ourselves in as a species. This is how long-time activists political strategists and accidental philanthropy advisors Alnoor Ladha and Lynn Murphy start their treatise on Post Capitalist Philanthropy. This book is a result of decades of practice and research including a hundred plus interviews with leading activists philanthropists philosophers social scientists cosmologists and wisdom keepers.The authors take us on a journey from the history of wealth accumulation to the current logic of late-stage capitalism to the lived possibilities of other ways of knowing sensing and being that can usher in life-centric models. This ontological shift as they call it is at the heart of the text - creating new-ancient-emerging realities is not simply about how we redistribute wealth or fight power but rather how we perceive and embody our actions in relationship to a dynamic animistic world and cosmos.This book is made available by Daraja Press on behalf of the Transition Resource Circle.
