摘要：There are three sectors in society (market, government and the third sector or civil society), each one of which has its proper role and function and each one of which has also its particular kind of failure. Up to now it has been the merit of economics to discover and articulate the theories of market failure (on whose basis the welfare state has been built) and government failure (which has shown the limits of democracies and constitutions). The time may have arrived to start thinking about third sector failure especially as all three failures have an ethical dimension. Economics can help improve the quality of our ethical thinking in relation to civil society and the third sector by showing us that good intentions are often not enough. For economic theory can provide us with the tools to analyze the long term effects of our ethical choices, and this not only in relation to this or that particular group of intended recipients, but in relation to all groups in society.
