”[A] fascinating look into perhaps one of the least understood trends in the public square.” —Dan Kaplan, Booklist (Starred Review)

“An intriguing look at the world of big-ticket philanthropy… . An eye-opening view of a vast sector of the economy that lies in the shadows but has undue influence, for ill or good.” —Kirkus
