Arts
Greetings, SOTAns! So many of the arts organizations we love are nonprofits, many of which we have talked about on the podcast before. We even work for them! Although there are so many fantastic NPOs in existence, there is a another lens to look at how their system came to be. Criticisms of the Nonprofit Industrial Complex speak to how this system helps the rich to maintain wealth control, suppress dissemination of radical ideas, upholds a top-down hierarchy within an organization, and is a way for the government to keep track of people's causes. Join us as we talk about what this complex is and how affects the organizations we interact with.
