"Oprah Closes Charity and Opens Store"
That headline, from Examiner.com, sums up so much about this moment. As part of my New America Foundation Fellowship I'm writing a book about the changing nature of our social sector. Technology, which I've published about at length, is one of two key changes.
The second of two key forces, as I discussed in this Stanford-hosted panel with Rob Reich, Diana Aviv and Steve Gunderson (Video) comes from market-type enterprises and finance.
Now I'll just have to look into celebrity philanthropy ("celebanthropy") again, and that headline would cover it all.
