These ‘intermediate organizations' include charities, churches, famine relief agencies, non-state universities, credit unions and social clubs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a unique study of this area of the British and American economy, Alan Ware provides a rigorously analytical and historical account of the relationship of intermediate organizations to both the state and the ‘for profit' sector. Among other issues, the author considers the disappearance of nineteenth century working class ‘mutual' organizations, the growth of profit-making activities by non-profit distributing bodies and the growth and change in voluntarism. He argues that the boundaries between intermediate organizations and the other two ‘sectors' are becoming more blurred in a variety of ways and that intermediate organizations do not constitute a separate ‘sector' of society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book also examines the problems of regulating such organizations and explains the consequences of the British and American practice of having relatively little state intervention in the affairs of such organizations. Finally the author discusses the activities of these organizations in relation to pluralist accounts of the working of liberal democratic states.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eMutuals and the Supply of Goods and Services \u003cp\u003eEconomic Competition Involving Charities\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinancial Autonomy and the \"Independent Sector\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Growth and Transformation of Volunteering\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDangerous Areas of State Involvement?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Regulation of Intermediate Organizations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntermediate Organizations and Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501440594200,"sku":"9780745605814","price":49.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745605814.jpg?v=1786239044","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/between-profit-and-state-intermediate-organisations-in-britain-and-the-united-states-hardback-9780745605814","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
