Description: In "No Such Thing as a Free Gift: The Gates Foundation and the Price of Philanthropy," Linsey McGoey examines the role of large-scale philanthropy in modern society, particularly through the lens of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. McGoey argues that such philanthropic efforts are often not as altruistic as they seem. It raises questions about the distribution of power, the influence on global politics and economics, and the impact of these philanthropic efforts on recipient countries. She also challenges the “successful entrepreneur” narrative often associated with these philanthropists, instead emphasizing their dependence on public infrastructure and resources. The book is a critical assessment of the growing influence of billionaires in areas such as education, heal.
