Description
The Faithless Fiduciary and the Quest for Charitable Accountability 1200-2005 James J. Fishman ISBN 9780890894965
In recent years, a series of high-profile scandals has shaken the nonprofit sector, damaging public trust and prompting calls for tighter regulation. These controversies are often viewed as evidence of a modern decline in the conduct of charities and their fiduciaries—those who manage nonprofit organizations or serve on their boards. In fact, misconduct in the charitable sector is anything but new. Abuse of charitable assets is a recurring problem with deep historical roots.
The Faithless Fiduciary explores the persistent pattern of opportunistic behavior by charitable fiduciaries and the longstanding failure to develop effective systems of oversight and accountability. The book traces charity scandals—and efforts to prevent them—from the thirteenth century to the present day.
A central case study is the Hospital of St. Cross, an almshouse founded in the twelfth century near Winchester, England, which continues to serve the poor to this day. Remarkably, this institution has experienced repeated episodes of fiduciary misconduct over the centuries, with documented abuses occurring in 1190, 1304, 1320, 1372, 1576, 1696, and 1853. Using St. Cross as a lens, the book illustrates how fiduciary failures recur despite changing legal and social contexts.
Expanding beyond England, The Faithless Fiduciary also examines charity scandals in the United States from the earliest days of European settlement to the modern era, offering a transatlantic perspective on the enduring challenge of charitable accountability.
