Networks of Hope

Chapter 8 looks at crowdfunding for unproven medical interventions, which typically are not paid for by public or private insurance. This system of fundraising plays a significant role in the exploitation of hope by funneling resources to exploiters and creating a pool of hopeful donors who are often misled about the interventions they are supporting. This case demonstrates the sometimes complex web of the exploitation of hope, where even ill and exploited individuals can be complicit in exploitation given the need to build hope in others in order to fund their own hopes.
