Philanthropy and Collective Sharing
نویسنده
چکیده
Today I will present my thoughts on philanthropy as collective sharing. I will first examine the nature of philanthropy, and its relationship with the concept of ownership. In society, philanthropy is born together with private property. There is no need for philanthropy under a system of full public ownership. According to Marxist and Socialist theory, philanthropy is unnecessary and irrelevant in both primitive and communist societies. The outputs of primitive society were very limited; all could share in the fruits of the hunt. In communist society, philanthropy is also unnecessary. The government actively meets all needs. If disabled individuals need crutches or wheelchairs, the government provides them. In light of this, I feel philanthropy springs from a society of private ownership, and develops alongside advancing property rights and norms.
