John Caudwell is an entrepreneur and philanthropist. He founded Phones4u in 1987 during an emerging mobile phone market, and later sold the business in 2006 for £1.47 billion. The UK’s biggest taxpayer, John donates over half of his wealth to philanthropic causes through the Giving Pledge and his own charities Caudwell Children and Caudwell LymeCo. In this in-depth conversation, he reflects on his eyes being opened to an aggressive marketplace and rivalry early on in his sales career, which put him in good stead for his future, argues “spiritualism is more rewarding than materialism”, and discusses business being a double-edged sword that can be tough on your home life but “gives rewards for being the best”.

Giving It Away Global philanthropy is on the rise, but can the huge sums donated by wealthy business people risk undermining governments and democracy? Manuela Saragosa is joined by economist Neva Rockefeller Goodwin, a member of the Rockefeller family that owns one of the world's largest fortunes. Neva is also one of 400 wealthy people in the USA who signed a letter organised by the Responsible Wealth project against tax cuts for the rich. And we hear from British businessman John Caudwell who sold his high street mobile phone company for more than 2 billion dollars. He now spends more time on his philanthropic work, including his charity for children with disabilities, Caudwell Children. Manuela is also joined by Barbara Ridpath, Director of the St Paul's Institute in London and Antonia Mitchell, Director of Aurelia Philanthropy. Also in the programme: David Callahan, author of The Givers, which questions the power acquired by philanthropists.
