   • Charitable aid should focus on the poor; too much giving today goes to other causes! This increasingly common argument is supported by the so-called “effective altruism” movement, which complains that a dollar spent on a university or park or music school could instead have headed off a dire problem such as, say, river blindness for an impoverished African.
   • Charity is an artifact no longer necessary in a modern welfare state! Some view private giving and problem-solving as vestiges of simpler times, with which we can now dispense.
   • Charitable donations are just a drop in the bucket! America’s nonprofit sector now commands 11 percent of our workforce and 6 percent of GDP—not including volunteer time, which, if we attached a reasonable hourly wage to it, nearly equals the $360 billion we donate in cash every year.
   • There are too many amateur efforts in philanthropy! It’s easy to write off “homemade” solutions as amateurish, but grassroots efforts accomplish many great things.

   Is philanthropy a big mistake?

   • The fact that most philanthropy takes place out of the public eye—in small doses, and often in private or even anonymous ways—makes it easy to overlook its size and power.
