Join fellow nonprofit colleagues for an informal book club conversation about Dan Pallotta’s book Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential, a controversial historical and contemporary analysis of the failings and opportunities of the nonprofit sector.
In his groundbreaking book, author Dan Pallotta argues that society’s nonprofit ethic acts as a strict regulatory mechanism on the natural economic law. It creates economic apartheid that denies the nonprofit sector critical tools and permissions that the for-profit sector is allowed to use without restraint. By declaring our independence from these obsolete ideas, Pallotta theorizes, we can dramatically accelerate progress on the most urgent social issues of our time. Pallotta has written an important, provocative, timely, and accessible book―a manifesto about equal economic rights for charity. Its greatest contribution may be to awaken society to the fact that they were so unequal in the first place.
