Book excerpt: Anheier and Leat open the debate about the proper roles of philanthropic foundations. They examine the status quo, and the implications of the significant privileges foundations enjoy - in particular their favourable tax treatment and their right to operate with a minimum of public oversight and accountability. This book suggests that the 'creative foundation' of the 21st century represents the next evolutionary step in the continuing development of philanthropy.
