“In Defense of Philanthrocapitalism” is not much of a defense

In his recent New Yorker piece, James Surowiecki is essentially arguing that because big philanthropy helps target large, sticky problems that government and the private sector are unwilling to pay for, then we ought to be grateful for the Zuckerbergs and the Gates of the world. 

He seems to make the assumptions that “philanthropy” always has good intentions and usually, on balance, has a broad public benefit. 

 Surowiecki notes :

“Philanthropies, by contrast, have far-reaching time horizons and almost no one they have to please.” 

[i.e. no accountability whatsoever. Shudder.] 

And

“This can lead them to pour money into controversial causes, as Zuckerberg has with education reform.” 

[This was a a disastrous $100 million investment. Read Dale Russakoff’s “The Prize”.]

Philanthropy often inflicts harm - whether it’s misguided/ignorant (Zuckerberg’s funding of Newark school reform) or outright intended to undermine democractic processes (donations to super PACs).

If you want to read some really thought provoking work on how philanthropy undermines democracy and civic participation, check out Rob Reich at Stanford.
