An Illusion of Philanthropy
An Illusion of Philanthropy by Hans Vogel Hans Vogel outlines the historical rise of robber barons and their legacy of influence through modern-day globalist philanthropy, showing how charitable foundations and NGOs, guided by the money-driven mindset of their predecessors, now shape international agendas on issues from climate policy to public health. When around 1900 the US economy was growing at dizzying rates, a small number of entrepreneurs became extraordinarily successful. That success was measured by a single standard: money. They amassed dazzling amount of dollars. Though none of them was called Scrooge McDuck, they were at least as rich and could swim in coin-filled pools. John Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry M. Flagler and dozens of tycoons made fortunes so enormous as had hardly ever been seen before. Their fortunes were made in banking, oil, steel, railroads, cotton, chemicals and other branches of trade and industry.
