A Corporate Form Of Freedom by Norman Silber (9780813397627)

Description - A Corporate Form Of Freedom by Norman Silber

A Corporate Form of Freedom explores how courts and legislatures have decided which non-profit groups can pursue their missions as corporations. For many years it was a privilege to hold a non-profit charter. This view changed during the 1950s and 1960s. A new generation contended that legal theory, racial justice, and democratic values demanded that the non-profit corporate form be available to all groups as a matter of right. As a result, non-profit corporate status became America's corporate form for free expression. The new perspective did more than enlarge public discourse, however. It also reduced official authority to supervise or otherwise hold non-profit organizations accountable for their activities. Norman I. Silber examines how the non-profit world was transformed - a transformation which refashioned political and social discourse, altered the economy, and created many of the difficulties the non-profit sector faces today.
