As an example, Lin cites how the environmental and advocacy NPOs in America are losing momentum, while their comrades in Europe are going strong. The main reason: the American ones are taking on too much of the government's work.
他以美國為例，美國的環保和倡議性質的 NPO 都聲勢疲弱，不像歐洲那麼活絡，主要原因就是 NPO 承接太多政府的工作，美國政府宛如發包中心，連監獄都包給民間來經營。
