They are paid minimum wage so that we might be absent, getting on with our own lives.

For decades, philanthropy has been viewed as a benevolent force, uplifting communities and advancing education and medicine. But what if charity wasn’t just about generosity? What if it was a strategic tool—one used to shape society, consolidate power, and reinforce the very economic system that created the wealth it distributes? In Wholesale Philanthropy: From Charity to Social Transformation, a section from E. Richard Brown’s Rockefeller Medicine Men, we uncover how corporate elites—led by figures like John D.

This is a tale of pursuit through the kitchens of New York City at the turn of the century. By the late nineteenth century, it seemed that New York City had put an end to the outbreaks of typhoid fever that had so frequently decimated the city's population.

But before she could be tested, the woman, soon to be known as Typhoid Mary, had disappeared.

The Quaker City and its hospitals were pioneers in the field of mental health. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, its institutions were crowded and patients lived in shocking conditions. The mentally ill were quartered with the dangerously criminal.

From the start, its history was riddled with corruption and committees, investigations and inquests, appropriations and abuse.

Чтобы увидеть разные этапы развития этого знания, потребуется заглянуть в греческие святилища Асклепия и в арабские больницы-бимаристаны, в богатые дома, окруженные садами, и в жилища простых горожан, какую бы веру они ни исповедовали. – Средневековые взгляды на причины различных заболеваний. – Исторические формы профилактики болезней. – Методы лечения больных и средневековые больницы. – Борьба с эпидемиями.
