It’s not hard to come up with the name of someone who’s given a lot of money to a particular cause: Michael Bloomberg, the Koch Brothers and Tom Steyer are among the most prominent.

But, philanthropy is having a bigger impact on public policy and society than that. David Callahan writes about this in his book "The Givers: Wealth, Power and Philanthropy in the New Gilded Age."

Callahan is the founder and editor of Inside Philanthropy and joined The Show to talk about this.
