Giving back: an examination of the philanthropic motivations, orientations and activities of large black-owned businesses

Article Abstract:

Philanthropy among large businesses owned by African-American was examined by using a commercial mailing list from 'Black Enterprise' magazine. The results revealed that, in terms of activities, these companies favor the support for youth activities, gifts to education, particularly to the United Negro College fund, and gifts to charities that support the Black Community. Moreover, Black business owners were shown to favor activities whose major impact will affect the youth and community development.

Participation versus social exclusion

Article Abstract:

Technological progress results in a higher degree of social exclusion in free enterprise economies because disadvantaged people are unable to adjust their skills to the new requirements of the labor market. This argues for the adoption of a policy, grounded on moral principles, that redistributes the fruits of progress based not only on individual contributions to production but on the relative needs of the individuals.
