PublicAffairs,U.S. The Foundation: A Great American Secret; How Private Wealth is Changing the World
Book SynopsisPrivate foundations have been the dynamo of social change since their invention at the beginning of the last century. Yet just over 10 percent of the public knows they even exist and for those who are aware of them, as well as even those who seek grants from them, their internal workings remain a complete mystery. Joel Fleishman knows the sector like few others, and in this ground-breaking book he explains both the history of foundations,with their fledgling beginnings in the era of the robber barons seeking social respectability,through to the present day. This book shows how, why foundations matters, and how the future of foundations can provide a vital spur to the engine of the American, and the world's, economy,if they are properly established and run.

PublicAffairs,U.S. The Philanthropy of George Soros: Building Open Societies
Book Synopsisp class="MsoNormal" With an Introduction by George Soros and an Afterword by Aryeh Neier p class="MsoNormal" p style="line-height: 14pt" class="MsoNormal"George Soros is one of the world's leading philanthropists. Over the past thirty years, he has provided more than 8 billion to his worldwide network of foundations: the Open Society Foundations, which have applied the concept of the open society, the cornerstone of Soros's thinking on democracy, freedom, and human rights, in the United States and abroad. This book, written by former New York Times journalist Chuck Sudetic, marks the first exploration of George Soros's innovative philanthropic strategies and unmatched commitment to building open societies in places where dictatorship and violent repression have been the rule for too long. p style="line-height: 14pt" class="MsoNormal"Soros is widely lauded for his brilliant financial and economic insights and investment strategies. But his philosophy-driven philanthropy and its impact are unprecedented for a private individual, and have produced remarkable results. Soros's visionary efforts include: helping to topple communism in eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and attempting to foster civil society in China initiating and nurturing global and local organizations fighting to overcome the driver of war, repression, and corruption in oil- and blood-diamond states helping Sarajevo's people endure three years of siege during the Bosnian War fighting resistant strains of TB in Russia's jails and Lesotho's mountains before the disease can devastate the world's great cities undertaking the first attempt in history to help Europe's most downtrodden people lift themselves from poverty and segregation supporting democratic resistance in Burma and building communities in Haiti's roughest slums applying new methods for fighting poverty and drug addiction and reforming dysfunctional justice systems in Baltimore, New Orleans, and other U.S. cities. p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in line-height: 14pt" class="MsoNormal" The Philanthropy of George Soros reveals the thought and practice behind a lesser-known dimension of this remarkable man's life, his goals for society, and his underlying vision for the future.

PublicAffairs,U.S. Who Gets What: Fair Compensation after Tragedy and Financial Upheaval
Book SynopsisAgent Orange, the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, the Virginia Tech massacre, the 2008 financial crisis, and the Deep Horizon gulf oil spill: each was a disaster in its own right. What they had in common was their aftermath- each required compensation for lives lost, bodies maimed, livelihoods wrecked, economies and ecosystems upended. In each instance, an objective third party had to step up and dole out allocated funds: in each instance, Presidents, Attorneys General, and other public officials have asked Kenneth R. Feinberg to get the job done. In Who Gets What? , Feinberg reveals the deep thought that must go into each decision, not to mention the most important question that arises after a tragedy: why compensate at all? The result is a remarkably accessible discussion of the practical and philosophical problems of using money as a way to address wrongs and reflect individual worth.Trade ReviewKirkus Reviews "An insider's account of how compensation decisions are made after major disasters...An opportunity to get to know a man whose work has affected thousands." Newsweek Daily Beast"When bad things happen and damages are due, it has frequently fallen on Washington lawyer Kenneth Feinberg to decide how much cash goes to whom--thus his unlikely career as America's King Solomon." Washington Post"A clearly written and emotionally contained new book" Washington Post "In Who Gets What," lawyer and master of disaster Kenneth R. Feinberg dissects the complicated business of settling claims after calamity... A glance at recent headlines may indicate a long shelf life for Feinberg's book -- who will compensate the victims of Jerry Sandusky? "Who Gets What" indeed." Reed Richardson, Eric Alterman's blog on The Nation "An interesting prism through which to view what kind of lives and livelihoods our democracy sees fit to value... This peek into a world 99 percent of us will never experience is perhaps the most powerful lesson of Feinberg's book. It reveals how our society's values have been radically skewed to greatly reward those who take excessive risks in creating impenetrable 'vehicles' that have almost no intrinsic societal value." Eric Posner, New Republic on line "A helpful reminder that many institutions that we take for granted flourish only because the public does not pay attention to them. When political ruptures expose this machinery, savvy figures such as Kenneth Feinberg are called upon to play a paradoxical role. They convince the public that these institutions are fair by temporarily suspending their operation and using ad hoc procedures that better comport with public notions of fairness, until public attention wanders elsewhere.

Wilfrid Laurier University Press Transition to Common Work: Building Community at The Working Centre
Book SynopsisThe Working Centre in the downtown core of Kitchener, Ontario, is a widely recognized and successful model for community development. Begun from scratch in 1982, it is now a vast network of practical supports for the unemployed, the underemployed, the temporarily employed, and the homeless, populations that collectively constitute up to 30 percent of the labour market both locally and across North America. Transition to Common Work is the essential text about The Working Centreâits beginnings thirty years ago, the lessons learned, and the myriad ways in which its strategies and innovations can be adapted by those who share its goals. The Working Centre focuses on creating access-to-tools projects rather than administrative layers of bureaucracy. This book highlights the core philosophy behind the centre's decentralized but integrated structure, which has contributed to the creation of affordable services. Underlying this approach are common-sense innovations such as thinking about virtues rather than values, developing community tools with a social enterprise approach, and implementing a radically equal salary policy. For social workers, activists, bureaucrats, and engaged citizens in third-sector organizations (NGOs, charities, not-for-profits, co-operatives), this practical and inspiring book provides a method for moving beyond the doldrums of "poverty relief" into the exciting world of community building.Table of ContentsTable of Contents for Transition to Common Work: Building Community at The Working Centre , by Joe and Stephanie Mancini Foreword | Frances Westley Foreword | Kenneth Westhues Acknowledgements Part 1: The Working Centre Takes Root 1 Introduction: Beyond Us and Them 2 Building Community: The Working Centre's Roots 3 Liberation from Overdevelopment Part 2: Community Engagement 4 The Virtues 5 St. John's Kitchen: Redistribution through Cooperation 6 Searching for Work at the Help Centre 7 The Nuts and Bolts of an Alternative Organization Part 3: Toward a Philosophy of Work 8 Ethical Imagination: The Working Centre's Approach to Salaries 9 Community Tools 10 Small is Beautiful: Re-embedding Reciprocal Relationships in Daily Work 11 Conclusion: Transition to Common Work Map of The Working Centre Buildings and Projects Map of The Working Centre Locations in Downtown Kitchener A Thirty-Year Chronology of The Working Centre People of The Working Centre Notes Select Bibliography
