A Corporate Form Of Freedom

The Emergence Of The Modern Nonprofit Sector

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing upon the laws and judicial opinions that have shaped practices in New York and in other states, "A Corporate Form of Freedom" provides an historical account to explain how and why getting a nonprofit corporate charter came to be a matter of right instead of a privilege--and why the nonprofit corporate form today is treated as generously as it is by the law.
