As we all struggle with a new definition of social solidarity, smart philanthropy, emotionally energized philanthropy, and even entrepreneurial philanthropy is now more important than ever before. The private sector needs to continue to step up to the challenge in America, but also in other developed economies. Raymond’s insights can help frame the discussion on how best to accomplish a new form of collaboration among public and private agents for social good in America, but perhaps also across the globe. America’s embrace of neighbors banding together to help the less fortunate is not only a rich national heritage we need to sustain and strengthen, but perhaps, in cautious ways, export to other political economies.\"\u003cbr\u003e –James A.
