ABOUT THE BOOK

CAF is delighted to announce the launch of our book Public Good by Private Means: How philanthropy shapes Britain by Rhodri Davies, the leader of CAF’s “Giving Thought” think tank.

Public Good by Private Means tells the story of philanthropy through the ages. It shows what history can tell us about modern philanthropy, including some of the current criticisms it faces, and considers difficult issues such as the link between tax and giving and the motivations of the wealthy.
