Could be interesting reading! Food for thought!
"Voluntary associations are thousands of years old, but Americans once embraced them like no other society has before, or since. Voluntary associations allow people, even members of disfranchised groups, to "vote" on worthy causes and institutions with their donation dollars and volunteer hours. Unfortunately, Americans have long since forgotten that the best way to palliate most economic and social problems is not formal government, the instruments of which are too often cruel or crude, but voluntary civil society. Maybe this book can help return this country to the truer, participatory, and voluntary form of democracy that it once knew."
