The October issue of The Atlantic is titled The Values Issue. The cover story is an interview with Bill Clinton on his social philanthropy ventures. "The idea is to identify markets that aren't supplying enough beneficial goods or services to meet the potential demand, and then to lead them to a new equilibrium"--a business approach to philanthropy. The article raises questions about whether the traditional approach to philanthropy--the grantmaking foundation--meets today's needs. It's worth a read.
Another piece in the issue explores the genetic basis for altruism.
