Editorial Review
We know that the ability of government to perform social tasks is very limited indeed. But we also know that the non-profit discharge is a much bigger job than taking care of specific needs. We have come to realize that all non-profit institutions, whatever their specific concern, have something in common. Now, we begin to realize what that “something” is. It is not that these institutions are “non-profit,” that they are not business. It is also not that they are “non-governmental.” It is that they do something very different from either business or government.
