How does it operate, who does it benefit and what should we expect it to do? This important book helps to tackle the most common misunderstandings and misconceptions of charitable activity in contemporary British society, especially insofar as these affect the thinking of politicians and policymakers. The authors present and discuss over a dozen studies, including public attitudes to giving, large datasets on the geography and funding patterns of third sector organisations, and interviews with a wide range of donors, charity leaders, fundraisers and philanthropy advisers. This data enables them to explore the logic of charity in terms of the distribution of resources across causes and communities in the UK, and the processes behind philanthropic decision-making, to reveal a picture of charitable activity at odds with widespread assumptions. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aCommunity development 606 $aSocial service 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aSocial Work and Community Development 606 $aCultural Studies 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aCommunity development. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aSocial Work and Community Development. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 676 $a320.6 700 $aBreeze$b Beth$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0786990 702 $aMohan$b J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254789003321 996 $aThe Logic of Charity$92507508 997 $aUNINA
