Editorial Reviews
Review
As one who has been struck with the similarities in human motivation in different institutional settings, I might not be expected to like this book. But the book is so interesting, informative and fair-minded that I like it a lot and recommend it to all.
--Mancur Olson, University of Maryland
The Nonprofit Economy is a major contribution to an important and neglected subject. The work is thoughtfully analytical, well documented, and clearly formulated. It will be valuable for years to come.
--David A. Hamburg, President, Carnegie Corporation
This is a challenging book on a topic of widely underestimated importance. Each of our lives is touched by an array of nonprofit institutions, all ostensibly established and managed for the purpose of serving the public's many interests. Society manages nonprofits largely through a hands-off strategy that assumes they will do well enough if left alone. The Nonprofit Economy raises the compelling issues of the social governance of this diverse collection of vitally important institutions.
--Herman B. Leonard, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
--Mancur Olson, University of Maryland
