美国慈善事业的守护神安德鲁·卡内基(Andrew Carnegie)相信“死时仍富有的人,死得不光彩”。他在去世之前处理了他90％的巨额财产。现在看来,19世纪向20世纪的过渡阶段似乎是慈善事业的黄金时代,而安德鲁·卡内基和约翰·洛克菲勒(John Rockefeller)同为那个时代的巨人。 现在,也许又一个慈善事业的黄金时代将要来临,理由与以前相似:社会不平等是慈善事业的伙 Andrew Carnegie, the patron saint of America’s philanthropy, believes that “those who are still rich at death do not die”. He handled 90% of his fortune before his death.

Now, perhaps another golden age of philanthropy is coming for the same reason as before: social inequality is a charitable affair
