Phil Buchanan, president of the Center for Effective Philanthropy, says it's "unfortunate that philanthropy requires a defense, but thankfully this book more than meets the challenge."

That defense comes in the form of Giving Done Right, a book written by University of Kent professor Beth Breeze that argues against the "overtly generalized, shallow, ahistorical, unhelpful, and counter-productive critiques of philanthropy that, while hardly new, have surged into fashion in recent years," reports the Wall Street Journal.

Breeze argues that while it might be flawed, philanthropy is a vital part of society and needs to be celebrated.
