the institutions of philanthropy, which like all powerful institutions are full of false prophets who wield altruism as a kind of smoke and mirrors, obscuring the sources of their wealth.

Those who “give away” money to feed the poor with one hand while continuing to create conditions that keep people poor with the other are not repairing the breach but perpetuating it.
