Description
"Growing Civil Society" provides the general reader with an understanding of how America's third sector - its voluntary and non-profit organisations - interacts with governmental and business organisations to provide a voice to society's many interests and services to citizens in need. Which does not imply that our generation is so much wiser or more civilised than the generation that initiated the great war of 1861-1865 for the destiny of America. To balance the loss in war of over 400,000 largely white American lives against the gain of freedom for nearly 4 million slaves requires a higher than human capacity to weigh conflicting values. Still, the liberating of so many, and of their descendants, along with the preservation of the American experiment in democracy, may well appear to our rough human calculations as gains not falling short after all of justification for the terrible price of the Civil War.
