Excellent. I've been saying for several years the non-profit sector is the way to do the JG in the US. They're already on the ground and the US public will never go for a govt program. This will enable the govt to do nothing but cut checks. Further, the non-profit sector finds itself meeting needs that fluctuate countercyclically, just as you would want the JG to do.
I didn't get much joy from either of the links. Are they working?
The second one works, try this for the first:

As someone that has spent most of my time in the non-profit world, I agree, Scott. The whole management orientation and approach is much more suited to the JG as a program that doesn't compete with the private sector. If management is privatized, it inevitably would, because that is how managers and ownership in the world think.
Sorry for the confusion resulting from the bad link. It is one link to one paper. Thanks for point to the discrepancy, Ralph. Fixed now.
This is a very significant note by Pavlina, who's doing really great work on the JG right now. I regret that there's so little discussion of it and so much on JKH's recent post. It's Pavlina's work that is important for people. JKH's issues are an inside MMT/MMR baseball.
