在过去的十年里，西方某些地区的精英慈善事业呈爆炸式增长，非法摩托车俱乐部的慈善事业也是如此。问题是，在什么条件下，慈善事业才能成为个人权力在社会中合法化的有效策略？新自由主义不仅导致了极端的不平等、国家的削弱和日益失望的人口的出现，而且还使慈善成为一种有效的战略，使亿万富翁和犯罪组织的非正式权力合法化。慈善事业成为在面对声誉危机时进行形象管理和将这些跨国非国家行为者纳入治理的工具。新自由主义的破坏性影响使这两个群体得以发展，并复制和加速了他们蓬勃发展的条件，从而进一步削弱了国家并加剧了不平等。这一论点与流行的关于私人罪恶和贪婪如何服务于公共利益的说法背道而驰。
In the last decade, elitist philanthropy exploded in certain parts of the West and so did philanthropy of outlaw motorcycle clubs. The question is, under what conditions does philanthropy become an effective strategy of legitimization of one’s power in society? Neoliberalism did not only result in extreme inequality, weakening of the state, and emergence of increasingly disillusioned population, but also enabled philanthropy to become an effective strategy of legitimization of the informal power of both billionaires and criminal organizations alike. Philanthropy became instrumental both to image management in face of crises of reputation and to the insertion of these transnational non-state actors into governance. The destructive effects of neoliberalism allowed both groups to grow, and to reproduce and accelerate the very conditions in which they thrive, thus further weakening the state and fuelling inequality. The argument counters popular narratives about how private vices and greed can serve public benefit.
