Neoliberal restructuring has left individuals and families scrambling
for survival and increasingly reliant on the under-funded and
over-regulated non-profit sector to patch over the steadily growing
fissures in our society. The book examines the creativity and
resilience of nonprofits in maintaining and expanding their
services. This book also delves into the vital role of non-profits
in advocacy for human rights, anti-racism, Indigenous claims, and
improved health and social services. The decades-long turn towards
marketized solutions to social needs has created the conditions under
which privatized modes of service delivery have become the norm. The
extraordinary rise of the non-profit sector is an under-analyzed
consequence of neoliberal restructuring in Canada. In this timely
corrective, Ted Richmond and John Shields analyze the place of the
non-profit sector in neoliberal times in Canada. The authors take a
critical political economy approach, providing a vital analysis of the
significance of the non-profit sector, and bring clarity to its
dimensions and roles in society. The book pays particular attention to
the provision of social, human and health services in Canada’s
changing welfare state system.
