A report and lengthy comment on a controversial and thought provoking discussion, that was organised by the Goethe Institute at Khartoum and which was entitled: The role of foreign organisations in the development of Third World countries with special reference to German organisations working in the Republic of Sudan. The meeting was prompted by an initiative of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung as well as by the affair of the Ethiopian Jews, in which three voluntary foreign aid organisations working in Sudan were implicated. On the panel of the discussions were representatives of five German organisations, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Friedrich Naumann Stiftung, Hans Seidel Stiftung, Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit and Deutscher Entwicklungsdienst.

Wealthy individuals often voluntarily provide public goods that the poor also consume. Such philanthropy is perceived as legitimizing one's wealth. Governments routinely exempt the rich from taxation on grounds of their charitable expenditure. We examine the normative logic of this exemption. We show that, rather than reducing it, philanthropy may aggravate absolute inequality in welfare achievement, while leaving the change in relative inequality ambiguous. Additionally, philanthropic preferences may increase the effectiveness of policies to redistribute income, instead of weakening them. Consequently, the general normative case for exempting the wealthy from expropriation, on grounds of their public goods contributions, appears dubious. -- Community ; public goods ; inequality ; distribution ; philanthropy ; egalitarianism
