Philanthrocapitalism: A disaster idea that threatens CSR

Philanthrocapitalism is quite frankly the worst CSR-related idea I've come across in a long, long time. For those who aren't yet familiar with the term, it is the title of a book by Matthew Bishop and Michael Green, with high-powered endorsers like Bill Clinton and Bill Gates (hardly surprising given that both have reinvented themselves as uber-philanthropists).
