Plongée dans le quotidien disloqué de huit foyers des quartiers pauvres de Milwaukee, au Wisconsin, où chaque jour, des dizaines de ménages sont expulsés de leurs maisons. Arleen élève ses garçons avec les 20 dollars qui lui restent pour tout le mois, après avoir payé le loyer. Lamar, amputé des jambes, s'occupe des gamins du quartier en plus d'éduquer ses deux fils. Scott, infirmier devenu toxicomane après une hernie discale, vit dans un mobile home insalubre. Tous sont pris dans l'engrenage de l'endettement et leur sort est entre les mains de leurs propriétaires, que l'on suit aussi au fil du récit. Fruit de longues années de terrain, ce livre montre comment la dégradation des politiques du logement et la déréglementation du marché de l'immobilier fabriquent et entretiennent l'endettement chronique et la pauvreté, une violente épidémie qui s'avère très rentable pour certains et qui frappe surtout les plus vulnérables, en l'occurrence les femmes noires. Ouvrage magistral et captivant qui offre un regard précis et juste sur la pauvreté et un implacable plaidoyer pour le droit à un habitat digne pour tous.

Nonprofit organizations are increasingly resembling private firms in a transformation bringing with it a shift in financial dependence from charitable donation to commercial sales activity. This book, first published in 1998, examines the reasons and consequences of the mimicry of private firms by fundraising nonprofits. User fees and revenue from 'ancillary' activities are mushrooming, with each having important side effects: pricing out of the market certain target groups; or distracting the nonprofit from its central mission. The authors focus first on issues that apply to nonprofits generally: the role of competition, analysis of nonprofit organization behavior, the effects of distribution goals and differential taxation of nonprofit and for-profit activity revenue, the effects of changes in donations on commercial activity, and conversions of nonprofits to for-profits. They then turn to specific industries: hospitals, universities, social service providers, zoos, museums, and public broadcasting. The book concludes with recommendations for research and for public policy toward nonprofits.
