This scholarly review of Olivier Zunz's 2011 Princeton University Press volume presents a systematic narrative of U.S. philanthropy from the 19th century to the late 1990s. Reviewer Greg Witkowski highlights Zunz's integration of foundation archives, legal and regulatory developments, and institutional histories, as well as its lasting insights despite limited coverage of modern technological impacts. It offers a thorough examination of the historical evolution of American philanthropy and its societal influence.
