Summary

'Pro Bono?' discusses philanthropy not as a social or humanitarian practice, but as an integrated part of present-day creative capitalism, having a direct relation to its growing inequality. The book investigates four expressions of philanthropy as ideology: consumer philanthropy, where we are asked to consume with good conscience; corporate philanthropy, where businesses engage in social work and where philanthropic associations reengineer themselves to mimic corporations; billionaire philanthropy, where conspicuous consumption is now being supplemented with conspicuous philanthropy; and finally celebrity philanthropy, where now one of the hallmarks of a celebrity is the commitment to use that fame to do good
