Steve, Your question prompted by the Anand Giridhara video has reached me as I am reading a much stronger exploration of the same theme, especially for nonprofit organizations. It is a book recommended to me by Seva Gandhi, "The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex." I find these questions particularly pertinent in the aftermath of having just written an orientation handbook about the legacy and values of ICA. On the surface, it highlights concerns that ICA has long expressed in its image of the "trans-establishement." That clarity, however, gives no one a free pass. Both the video and the book raise questions that can only be answered in a confessional examination of one's actions and commitments -- individually and institutionally. I appreciate your reminder about this.
