In 1972, during Richard Nixon’s visit to Beijing, Zhou Enlai, the first Premier of the People’s Republic of China, was asked for his view of the impact of the 1789 French Revolution. “It is too soon to say,” he is said to have replied.
Zhou probably misunderstood the question (thinking it referred to the May 1968 French revolt). But his answer could just as easily be applied to the revolution that has recently shaken the world of philanthropy. The implications could be far-reaching – but it will take some time before they are fully understood.
