Re: Notre Dame backlash...

[(Anonymous)]

There's also the fact that "starving children in Africa" problems are usually far too wide-reaching and complex to be solved just by having rich people throw money at the problem. You're talking issues of environment and geography, geo-politics and conflict, infrastructure, culture, and all kinds of other underlying and intersecting issues. There are NGOs and such doing good work who should be supported, absolutely, but while your donation helps to alleviate certain specific problems for individuals, it will never solve the bigger problems.

Meanwhile, restoring a damaged building is a smaller, more discrete problem that CAN be solved by throwing money at it.

One, harm amelioration for specific individuals is still a moral good, if it's done in a way that doesn't cause larger problems.

Two, I think there are some very good and thorough-going critiques of the way that billionaire philanthropy is actually carried out compared to what could be done, but that's probably beyond the scope of the thread.

Three, there's still the issue of operating in a system where making changes is depend on the will and the ability of billionaires in the first place.
