What&#x27;s his special insight into what makes a cause effective to fund?  Are we perpetuating a world in which charities employ a bunch of people to convince any of a hundred different rich philanthropists&#x2F;foundations to hand over wodges of cash?<p>It&#x27;s a hugely net positive thing he is doing no question.
