The Resilient Sector: The State of Nonprofit America

Summary: A seminal work of articulate scholarship
Review: The Resilient Sector: The State Of Nonprofit America by Lester M. Salamon (Director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies) is a critical and instructive analysis of America's nonprofit organizations as they operate in the country today. Tracing their resilience in response to turbulent challenges, and postulating that the private sector's very flexibility may yet prove its Achilles heel in that it undermines the nonprofit sector's ability to do what must be done, The Resilient Sector is well-researched, thought-provoking, a seminal work of articulate scholarship and very highly recommended reading for anyone involved with or donating to charitable, political, social issue, or religious non-profit organizations whether they are local, regional, or national.
