false 407267 1 <br>A $1.3 trillion industry, the US nonprofit sector is the world's seventh largest economy. From art museums and university hospitals to think tanks and church charities, over 1.5 million organizations of staggering diversity share the tax-exempt 501(c)(3) designation, if little else. Many social justice organizations have joined this world, often blunting political goals to satisfy government and foundation mandates. But even as funding shrinks and government surveillance rises, many activists often find it difficult to imagine movement-building outside the nonprofit model. <i>The Revolution Will Not Be Funded</i> gathers original essays by radical activists from around the globe who are critically rethinking the long-term consequences of this investment. Together with educators and nonprofit staff they finally name the "nonprofit industrial complex" and ask hard questions: How did politics shape the birth of the nonprofit model? How does 501(c)(3) status allow the state to co-opt politi-cal movements? Activists or -careerists? How do we fund the movement outside this complex? Urgent and visionary, <i>The Revolution Will Not Be Funded</i> is an unbeholden expose of the "nonprofit industrial complex" and its quietly devastating role in managing dissent. 396591 1 3 2007 The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex total:286|5:146|4:102|3:31|2:7|1:0| 286 1245 853 94 4 1 false false Sat Jan 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat May 31 20:06:20 -0700 2008 Wed Jan 14 21:05:52 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 2 false false Sun Nov 18 14:34:06 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 09 14:52:39 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 09 14:52:39 -0800 2007
