"Lays bare the mythologies surrounding philanthropy and shows it to be exactly what it is--an essential part of our capitalist system, with all the flaws and foibles found elsewhere, good at what it does best but bad at what it's sometimes expected to do. Anyone who wants the truth of philanthropy in America should read this book."

--Robert B. Reich, Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley

"Edwards’ Small Change is a splendid contribution to this pantheon of prophetic works which challenge marketplace triumphalism. It is, in effect, a manifesto calling upon philanthropists to join with fellow citizens in the public work of repairing our commonwealth, in the process re-claiming their agency as co-creators of the future."

--Harry C. Boyte, Senior Fellow, Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota and Co-Director, Center for Democracy and Citizenship, Augsburg College
