Where other texts suggest ways to optimize performance inside the existing paradigm, Uncharitable suggests that the paradigm itself is the problem and questions our fundamental canons about charity, Uncharitable goes where no other book on the nonprofit sector has dared to tread. Author Dan Pallotta argues that society's nonprofit ethic acts as a strict regulatory mechanism on the natural economic law and creates an economic apartheid that denies the nonprofit sector critical tools and permissions that the for-profit sector is allowed to use without restraint. In this provocative, timely, and accessible book Pallotta declares our independence from these obsolete ideas, so we can dramatically accelerate progress on the most urgent social issues of our time.
