  <abstract>This ground-breaking book highlights the rising tide of good that is reshaping capitalism and how The Giving Pledge, and secondarily the ESG movement, are its two main drivers. It focuses on the executional bottleneck that The Giving Pledge has created, as it is extremely challenging to give hundreds of billions away with measurable impact to nonprofits which, in many ways, are not prepared or designed to scale. To resolve this bottleneck, the author proposes a new way to efficiently and effectively invest philanthropy to solve some of our largest social and environmental challenges. It details an innovative approach to solving the housing crisis and providing all the permanent affordable housing for our national workforce and for the vulnerable. It also outlines how this new approach can significantly advance the fight against climate change and bring clean water to millions in America by making philanthropic private equity deals to invest billions through our largest private companies. It will be of interest to philanthropists, corporate CEOs, nonprofit and foundation leaders, wealth managers, estate attorneys and other philanthropic advisors Sean Davis is the Founder and Managing Partner of Merton Capital Partners.
