Compassion Laureate, Marta Marinda on

In development circles, there is now widespread consensus that social entrepreneurs represent a far better mechanism to respond to needs than we have ever had before - a decentralized and emergent force that remains our best hope for solutions that can keep pace with our problems and create a more peaceful world.

In this book David Bornstein and Susan Davis explain what social entrepreneurs are, how their organizations function, and what challenges they face. The book gives readers an understanding of what differentiates social entrepreneurship from standard business ventures and how it differs from traditional grant-based non-profit work. Unlike the typical top-down, model-based approach to solving problems employed by the World Bank and other large institutions, social entrepreneurs work through a process of iterative learning -
learning by doing - working with communities to find unique, local solutions to unique, local problems. The book shows readers exactly how they can get involved.
