  作者：Lohmann, Roger A.

  摘要：Nonprofit sector issues, both in public discourse and pedagogy, are too narrowly cast as problems confronting public-serving nonprofits and grant-making foundations. Consisting also of membership organizations, educational institutions, and political pressure groups, the sector constitutes a major force in society which, in its interactive entirety, might better be termed a social economy. This social economy both influences and is shaped by public administration, and it is now very much under...

The big questions are not whether specific individuals were to blame for the destruction of lives and property, and they do not begin with the slow and inadequate...

In the end, however, Presi...
