Another one (and a good one IMHO!) The seed text here is Mary Wollstonecraft's line that "It is justice, not charity that is wanting in the world". https://t.co/pUWVzZWw0Q

Just noticed that I was inadvertently using a copy of C Wright Mills classic 1956 sociological study "The Power Elite" as a mic stand just now. Seems fitting for a philanthropy podcast, and I'm sure it's what he would have wanted. https://t.co/tN58OExdPS

As you can see from this passage in Ian Williams very enjoyable (if rather polemical) 1989 book The Alms Trade, this whole debate has been rumbling on for quite some time... https://t.co/t9c70liRGJ

Has an album ever aged as well as Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill"? Discuss. (The only counter-examples I might allow are Television's "Marquee Moon" and Nick Drake's "Pink Moon"). (The "moon" link being coincidental). https://t.co/zTEGk0gUN5
