Economics; Microeconomics; Employee-ownership & co-operatives

After explaining why local development is a problem in such a wealthy and resource-rich country as the United States, Christopher Gunn profiles more than two dozen organizations ranging from child-care co-operatives to retirement communities, from co-housing ""villages"" to financial institutions. He also investigates public-policy changes that could strengthen this alternative sector's contribution to economic development.

Reviews for Third-Sector Development: Making Up for the Market

Christopher Gunn illuminates one of the hidden recesses of our nation's vast nonprofit subcontinent and uncovers a mother lode of innovative organizations effectively mobilizing nonmarket impulses to offset some of the structural shortcomings of our market system. The result is a fascinating account of how third-sector organizations bring hope and progress to those left behind in the march of globalization. -Lester M. Salamon, Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies and author of The Resilient Sector: The State of Nonprofit America
