Government vs. charity: Does public spending crowd out private giving?

Government vs. charity: Does public spending crowd out private giving?: "ill, I recently found a chart that I think at least complicates the idea that government necessairly cannibalizes philanthropy. Jacob Funk Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute for International Economics notes that people in countries with higher rates of government social spending aren't consistently any less likely to donate money or spend time volunteering. If anything, they're slightly more likely to, though the trend isn't very strong."
