Ok, but is WMF an economic institution?
As a "neutral" observer (i.e. not a member of any chapter) I can honestly say it's beginning to act as one.
Are chapters branches of WMF?
Apparently they will become just that from what I understand from this thread
The notable successes should be in no profit organizations.
I think David made an ironic reference to communism here :)
The thing is, central planning works well for small-size entities. But is the WMF still a "small size entity"? They say they are, cos' their budget is so tiny etc., etc., but I think you can't expand worldwide and still call yourself small. It just doesn't make sense.
