About this event
As the global impact economy grows in scale and influence, so too does the need for deeper reflection on its purpose and future direction. The LSE’s Impact Economy Project convenes leading thinkers and practitioners to examine the ideas, capital and institutions shaping this evolving field. This dialogue will examine the evolving role of philanthropy within the global impact economy. What roles can — and should — philanthropy play as private action for public benefit becomes more prominent? Where does it add distinctive value, and where are its limits? And who decides what matters? Join us to explore how philanthropy shapes markets, governments and places, at a moment of growing scale and scrutiny of its reach and ambitions.
