"In American Foundations, Mark Dowie argues that organized philanthropy is on the verge of an evolutionary shift that will transform America's nearly 50,000 foundations from covert to overt mediators of public policy, from polite arbiters of knowledge and culture to aggressive creators of new orthodoxy. He questions the wisdom of placing so much power at the disposal of nondemocratic institutions."--BOOK JACKET.
