""This book presents new scholarship about foundations such as Ford, Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Russell Sage, their history, and their impact on American society. The essays in the first three parts of the book look at the diverse and multiple ways in which foundations have contributed to American society: as organizations, they help put into action the goals of many social movements; as cultural agents, they help shift attention to some of the most pressing issues facing the American public. The last part of the book focuses on researching and writing foundation history.""--BOOK JACKET.
