Earlier this month, author Joel Kotkin contributed to The Giving Review symposium of articles about “Conservatism and the Future of Tax-Incentivized Big Philanthropy.” In his contribution, “The nonprofit threat,” Kotkin examines the causes and effects of the rise of new money in America, the psychology of those who earned or have been given it, and what they and their philanthropy run the risk of doing to democracy, capitalism, and role of elites in society.

Over the past several decades, the progressive Left has successfully fulfilled Antonio Gramsci’s famed admonition of a “long march through the institutions”. In almost every Western country, its adherents now dominate the education system, media, cultural institutions, and financial behemoths.
