Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Contemporary Britain is defined by the personal generosity and social commitment of our predecessors as much as by the state. But, as the state retreats, demands on the voluntary sector grow, the gap between the rich and the poor increases and charitable giving stagnates, our way of life is at risk. Will future generations live in a liberal democracy - or a plutocracy devoted to the interests of the rich and powerful?In this timely book, John Nickson, one of Britain's most experienced and successful fundraisers, argues that there will be catastrophic effects on our democracy unless we all commit to creating the social, cultural and intellectual capital we need to sustain society and our economy.Amid the challenges we face, there are opportunities: not least to transform the role of the state and the way the public, private and voluntary sectors work together to find innovative and enterprising solutions. Our Common Good explores the efforts of philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, and local authority, charity and business leaders, and reveals how their inspiring and practical solutions can build a better and fairer society. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardback. Etat : New. Inequality in Britain is on the rise. Does this matter? Should we be bothered that the rich give proportionately much less than the poor? And that only a small minority of the very wealthy are giving generously? Ninety per cent of NHS trusts are restricting routine operations. Youth unemployment is at record levels. Meanwhile, those on the Sunday Times Rich List have increased their wealth by 280 per cent since the turn of the millennium, amidst press reports of massive tax avoidance. For the first time in living memory, children cannot expect to be as well off as their parents. Wealth and privilege is under scrutiny. Giving is Good for You demonstrates that growing inequality and poverty is a threat to everyone - even the wealthy - and that the most unequal societies are the most dysfunctional, unhealthy and violent. The generous minority are urging their peers to follow suit, arguing that in addition to enhancing public benefit as public spending falls, giving can be personally fulfilling, particularly for those who realise that money is not the key to human happiness. The author asks philanthropists, charities and those they support what should be done to encourage us to give more of our money and more of our time to good causes. The solutions they propose will challenge us all, but particularly the wealthy elite and the government. …

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The Fundraiser Who Became a Philanthropist.A leading fundraiser and philanthropist's memoir about money, power and the common good. John Nickson traces his journey from privilege to purposeful giving, showing how philanthropy, civil society and ordinary citizens can repair divided Britain and renew hope. ' John takes us through his life as a fundraiser for a succession of important organisations, and then his transformation into a philosopher of philanthropy and a philanthropist himself. In doing so, he may well have provided us with some of the answers to the bleak times we are living through - to the rise of authoritarianism, the decline of liberal democracy, the absence of hope in too many people's lives.John's book can help. Its fundamental belief in the role of civil society, of collective decision and action, of the value of empathy, of the purposes of philanthropy, can help to steer us to a better world.' - Chris Smith ( Rt Hon Lord Smith of Finsbury, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge)'John Nickson has seen it all in the world of giving. He argues passionately and with an army of witnesses and examples that the very health of our society requires a solid foundation of charity, philanthropy and local responsibility for the myriad of society's actual needs. He dares to hope that society at large will recognise these needs and respond to them.'Sir John Tusa.…
