When naming something becomes a form of propaganda. I highlighted this article because of the long term budgetary problems which derive in part from not for profits - not just at local but also state and national levels. Still, the article seems to have its own identity issues!

How important is a political perspective for positive structural change? What's striking to me about this article is the author's belief that important ideas can be successfully associated with political beliefs.

For one, despite temptations to rely on political alignments in such efforts, only consider the damage later on, when productive economic strategies are abandoned primarily because they are aligned with the "wrong" political party.
