The video of the recent panel debate sponsored by the Ash Institute and co-sponsored by the Hauser Center, featuring Christine Letts from the Hauser Center, is now posted here. What Are Foundations For ?
Judge Richard Posner suggests that foundations are “total scandals” because they lack market or electoral accountability. Foundations also operate without significant transparency requirements, elevate the preferences of wealthy individuals across generations, and are recipients of generous tax breaks. In this final Ash Center Democracy Seminar of the Spring 2013 semester, Rob Reich explored the role of foundations in democratic societies. He argued that foundations can gain legitimacy in spite of their plutocratic power, through their work in supporting pluralism and in long-run social policy innovation. Phil Buchanan, Christine Letts, and Eric Beerbohm offered remarks and Archon Fung served as moderator.
