I never understoodwhy you hated your country so much. Was it because your mother beat youwith a wooden spoon, or sometimesher stiff-soled slipper? Or was it because you studied classical composition for 15years,apprenticing at La Scala,only to play in a salsa bandthat toured the forgotten towns of the North? I wish you could see what I see,the silver-backed olive leavesflipping in the hot wind,the fields of sunflowersturning towards high noon.

The Price of Humanity: How Philanthropy Went Wrong and How to Fix It, by Amy Schiller. Melville House, 2023; 217 pages; ISBN 9781685890223This is a passionate book with a possibly misleading title. Humanity, argues author Amy Schiller, has a value beyond price. And philanthropy is important. Indeed, it has a unique role in helping humans live fully human lives. Her criticism of philanthropy is not that it is fundamentally wrong but that it needs to focus less on utility and more on beauty.
