9/6/2013

In this thought-provoking article, the author delves into the reasons why the wealthy may not give as much to charitable causes as one might expect. The article challenges the assumption that the rich are inherently less generous, instead suggesting that their giving patterns are influenced by factors such as social connections, personal experiences, and the desire for control over how their wealth is used. It explores the notion that those with substantial wealth may feel less compelled to give due to a sense of entitlement or the belief that their success is solely the result of their own efforts. The article provides a nuanced examination of the complex dynamics that shape philanthropy among the affluent.
