This accessible study examines all the major elements of the nonprofit sector of the economy of the United States --health services, educational and research institutions, religious organizations, social services, arts and cultural organizations, and foundations--describing the institutions and their functions, and then exploring how their benefits are distributed across various economic classes.

The analysis of this data makes for a book with profound implications for future social and tax policy.
