At a time when so many reflexively look to government action as a remedy for today’s ills, this valuable book demonstrates the power of social entrepreneurs to take on some of the world’s great challenges. Social entrepreneurship is grounded in real-world experience. The projects the book profiles demonstrate the impact of individuals as agents of change – taking ideas and turning them into action that can help transform entire societies.
The accounts of social entrepreneurs contained in this volume could well inspire a future shortlist for the Nobel Peace Prize. Zachary Kaufman has coupled impressive narratives with compelling analysis in a collection that informs observers but that will also stimulate more young people to take up the challenges of responding to atrocities.”
