What is charity? Foundations of Charity from Hart Publishing brings together scholars
from the fields of charity law, public law, and trusts law, and internationally 
recognised writers on social policy and legal philosophy who presented papers at
a conference at King’s College, London, in 1998.

The contributors take “an iconoclastic approach” to the legal definition of charitable
status, and provide an in-depth analysis of key concepts in charity law and administration,
such as ‘public benefit’ and ‘political activity.’
