A Historical Overview of Philanthropy, Voluntary Associations, and Nonprofit Organizations in the United States, 1600–2000
Philanthropy, the Nonprofit Sector & the Democratic Dilemma
The central dilemma of American democracy is the tension between “voice” and “equality”: between the Constitution's unconditional guarantees of citizens' expressive, associational, and property rights and the legal and political equality that is the foundation of majoritarian decision-making. Philanthropy and nonprofit organizations – which enable citizens to give money and time to support causes in which they believe – have posed this dilemma wi…
A spatial typology of the emerging post-industrial geography of England and Wales
Si les disparités socio-économiques Nord-Sud restent d’actualité dans l’Angleterre et le Pays de Galles contemporains, l’entrée dans l’ère post-industrielle et l’incidence de la mondialisation ont complexifié la dichotomie que l’on pouvait dresser depuis les années 1930. Cet article propose une typologie dynamique en quatre classes permettant de rendre compte de cette nouvelle donne spatiale
The Future of the Metropolis and its Form
HALL P. (1997) The future of the metropolis and its form, Reg. Studies 31, 211‐220 In this paper, echoing the spirit and purpose of Michael Chisholm's best work, I discuss the economics of alternative patterns of land use and development. First, the paper revisits Anglo-American debates from the 1960s and 1970s on the economics of urban form. Second, it looks at significant new conclusions from work in Britain in the late-1980s and early-1990s. I…

Sacred Companies: Organizational Aspects of Religion and Religious Aspects of Organizations
Religion is intrinsically social, and hence irretrievably organizational. Religion and organizations have separately been the objects of frequent study but their confluence has rarely been considered. This interdisciplinary collection of mostly unpublished papers is the first volume to tackle this neglected subject. The result of a three-year research project at Yale sponsored by the Lilly Endowment, the volume looks at such topics as the histori…
The managerial revolution, the institutional infrastructure, and the problem of human capital
In Scale and Scope , A.D. Chandler explores the role of management in shaping growth and competitiveness in industrialising nations. Chandler views managers as reacting to technological and economic change rather than initiating it, giving little attention to the extent to which growth of modern management and corporate capacities were tied to the emergence of parallel structures in government and society, and the important national differences i…

Inventing the Nonprofit Sector and Other Essays on Philanthropy, Voluntarism, and Nonprofit Organizations
Philanthropy and voluntarism are among the most familiar and least understood of American institutions. The oldest American nonprofit corporation -- Harvard College -- dates from 1636, but most of the million or so nonprofits currently in existence were established after 1960. In Inventing the Nonprofit Sector and Other Essays on Philanthropy, Voluntarism, and Nonprofit Organizations, cultural historian Peter Dobkin Hall describes and analyzes th…

Abandoning the Rhetoric of Independence: Reflections on the Nonprofit Sector in the Post-Liberal Era
This paper argues that nonprofits scholarship before 1980 was premised on unex amined assumptions about the independence of the sector from government, business, and private wealth. These assumptions shaped the direction of empirical and theoretical research into nonprofits. They also underlay public policy towards nonprofits, particularly the 1969 Tax Reform Act. Only when the Reagan admin istration proposed massive cuts in federal spending did …

Volume I focuses on patterns of urban growth in England since the Second World War: urban areas (defined in terms ofthe American concept ofthe Metropolitan Area) have tended to decentralized population and, more tardily, employment; these processes seem to have taken place earlier in the larger areas.
