In this episode, George Miller speaks to Rhodri Davies, author of 'What is Philanthropy for?', one of the first titles to be published in Bristol University Press’s new What Is It For? series.

In the first of three short conversations, Rhodri explains why he thinks this is a good time to ask questions about the purpose of philanthropy, and its relationship to democracy, inequality and the market. He also talks about why understanding philanthropy’s past can be a useful aid to mapping out its future.
