This book discuss the increasing role of social entrepreneurs in the world. While social entrepreneurs have existed for centuries, the field of social entrepreneurship is a relatively new one. How to Change the World tells the story of Ashoka, an organization launched by Bill Drayton in 1980 which began to build some of the first infrastructure for the emerging citizen sector. If you are interested in studying pattern changing ideas that address social issues on a broad scale and the dynamic people who married themselves to those ideas to implement them, this is the book for you.
