Related to this blog’s theme, do you think that not-for-profit organizations are a way to unfuck our totally fucked economy? Among the non-profits you know of, are they top-down organizations, run by a board of directors, where it appears that membership’s role in governance is murky, or nonexistent? Do they practice the cooperatives’ principle, “one member, one vote?” If not, do you know why not?
Who actually owns the non-profit? How do they exercise any ownership?
