Living for Philanthropy: Fundraising as a Vocation

“…Neoliberalism refers to the extension of market rationality into nonmarket spheres of life, including social morality (Dardot & Laval, 2013). The problem and perversity of neoliberalism is that it institutes a "caring capitalism" that redefines what it means to care in market terms.…”
