The Alms Bazaar: Altruism Under Fire - Non-Profit Organizations and International DevelopmentPaperback, 15 December 1995

The phenomenon of the transnational mega-charity is examined as are the threats to the independence of voluntary organizations from governments, UN agencies and from charities themselves. This is also a story about lessons of heroism and folly, of bungling and luck and failure - and of achievements that have improved the lives of millions.
