| Summary |
"The Business of Good narrates the story behind social entrepreneurship as told by the individuals compelled to create a change in the world--not just another business. Serial and social entrepreneur Jason Haber intertwines case studies, anecdotes, and initiatives that have become part of the larger narrative of entrepreneurship. From Main Street to Wall Street, today's social entrepreneurs are rebooting capitalism, challenging the charitable industrial complex, and are disrupting the way companies do business with exciting innovations designed to solve society's most vexing problems. In this book, Haber examines Capitalism 2.0, philanthropy, and the role and power of media alongside the world's response as social entrepreneurship changes how we give, how we invest, and who we are."-- Provided by publisher |
