Description
A searching analysis of America's most powerful tax-exempt foundations, their actions and influence on the country. Rene A. Wormser, counsel to the Reece Committee, reveals the inner workings of these multi-billion-dollar public trusts and the intense opposition to any investigation of their activities. The author argues that some foundations have acted tragically against the public interest, and that their power can be immense when like-mindedness among giants is present.
