摘要

A large plaque in the foyer of Boston's Institute for Contem-porary Art (ica), a museum housed in a dramatic glass and metal building on the harbour's edge, identifies its most generous patrons. Visitors who stop to look will notice that some donors-including two who gave the ica over $2.5m-have chosen not to reveal their names. Such reticence is unusual: less than 1% of private gifts to charity are anonymous. Most people (including the vast majority of the ica's patrons) want their good deeds to be talked about. In "Richistan", a book on America's new rich, Robert Frank writes of the several society publications in Florida's Palm Beach which exist largely to publicise the charity of its well-heeled residents (at least before Bernard Madoff's alleged Ponzi scheme left some of them with little left to give).
