Abstract

The term "philanthrocapitalism" was coined by Matthew Bishop in a 2006 article in The Economist, to describe a new entrepreneurial private sector led approach to solving public problems. In the years since, despite initial skepticism, especially in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash, philanthrocapitalism has gone from strength to strength and is now regarded increasingly as an essential part of any solution to a significant public problem.
