Constructive And Preventive Philanthropy (1902) - Joseph Lee - Bog

Constructive and Preventive Philanthropy is a book written by Joseph Lee in 1902. The book is a comprehensive guide on how to approach philanthropy in a constructive and preventive way. Lee argues that philanthropy should not only be about giving money to those in need but also about addressing the root causes of social problems. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the principles of constructive philanthropy, which emphasizes the importance of education, social reform, and community building. Lee argues that philanthropy should focus on empowering individuals and communities to improve their own lives rather than simply providing them with charity. The second part of the book focuses on preventive philanthropy, which aims to prevent social problems from arising in the first place. Lee argues that philanthropy should address the root causes of social problems, such as poverty, inequality, and lack of education. He also discusses the importance of social research and data collection in identifying and addressing social problems. Overall, Constructive and Preventive Philanthropy is a thought-provoking book that challenges traditional approaches to philanthropy. It offers a comprehensive framework for addressing social problems and empowering communities to improve their own lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
