<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b> Masterly on the way philanthropy works.</b><br><b> -<i>The New York Observer</i></b> <p/>For more than a century, the United States has stood as a beacon of prosperity and democracy, proof that big business and big dreams could flourish side by side. Yet few Americans realize the crucial role that generosity plays in keeping that fragile balance. <p/>A leading voice for community development, scholar and former Connecticut College president Claire Gaudiani examines the crucial role of philanthropy in American prosperity. She traces the entrepreuneurial spirit of altruism, finding that generous gifts have powerfully invested in the most critical ingredients of the American economy: people, property, and ingenuity. Rather than pitting the capitalists against the populists, Gaudiani draws a blueprint for a just future, full of opportunities, based on giving. <p/><i>The Greater Good </i>is a passionate, pragmatic, and optimistic manifesto for revitalizing the promise of the American economy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As Gaudiani examines the directions in which philanthropy must advance in the years ahead, she offers some stark alternatives that will demand the attention of our policy makers. Insightful." --<i>Edwin J. Feulner, president, The Heritage Foundation</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Claire Gaudiani </b>served as president of Connecticut College from 1988 until 2001 and continues to serve as volunteer president of the New London Development Corporation.
