Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a sharp satire that skewers the excesses of what its writer calls "modern benevolence." The anonymous author wittily dissects contemporary fads like church-sponsored fancy fairs and humanitarian missionaries who draw enormous salaries to travel to far-off lands. Viewed thr…ough the author's lens, charitable endeavors appear less about helping those in need than about earning social status, accumulating wealth, and indulging in self-serving adventure. The book takes aim at what it sees as the hollowness of these enterprises, maintaining that true benevolence should begin at home, focusing on alleviating the poverty, crime, and injustice that exists in one's own community. By employing clever turns of phrase and wielding their wit like a scalpel, the author holds up a mirror to society, exposing the hypocrisy and vanity that often hide behind the guise of charity. This thought-provoking and humorous book is an important read for anyone interested in how the pursuit of virtue can be corrupted by the pursuit of social status and personal gain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
