How the nonprofit sector can help save capitalism from itself Economist Karl Polanyi (1886–1964) studied the evolution of capitalism. In his 1944 book, The Great Transformation, he observed that throughout history business and government have worked together to advance their mutual self-interest, always at the expense of of the majority of the population. He would not have been surprised by the election of Trump.  But does it have to be so? What new and better ways can we devise for blending government, markets and the commons? Elizabeth Castillo suggests that our current nonprofit organizations offer a working, proven model. She suggests that rather than nonprofits learning to act more like businesses, if they are to be sustainable it is business that must learn to operate more like nonprofits. “Commerce must restore reciprocity to the exchange process.” Article: Restoring Reciprocity: How the Nonprofit Sector Can Help Save Capitalism from Itself
