Super-philanthropy, repetition, difference, and decolonial possibilities and postcapitalist futures
Pablo Fuentenebro et al.’s ‘Geographies of Super-Philanthropy: Disaggregating the Global Philanthropic Complex’ describes the power of contemporary philanthropy. Their piece is highly insightful, and I appreciate their deep engagement with a topic central to how communities might address climate change and other pressing global challenges. While the comparison is wildly inappropriate, James Ferguson’s (2015) description of tech sector wealth as a ‘great gusher’, like an oil field to be tapped for the benefit of humanity, comes to mind.
