In addition, he goes on to talk in detail about the role of corporations in society today.

In the book, The Generosity Crisis: The Case for Radical Connection to Solve Humanity’s Greatest Challenges accomplished philanthropy expert, Brian Crimmins, delivers a startlingly insightful exploration of the decline of American generosity. He will discuss how we found ourselves in this place (an all-time low) and then he will offer inspirational solutions to the dramatic downturn in giving in the US, showing us how to re-establish the interconnection that drives reciprocity, love, and generosity. The key is (re)establishing radical connections between each other and the organizations we care about.
