Why read it

  • You will stop calling every act of public good social entrepreneurship, a label that otherwise becomes everything and nothing
  • You will understand an unjust status quo as a stable closed loop of privilege and access that is hard to break
  • You will see where social change can come from other than government or business: the space between the two

Who it is for

  • A nonprofit founder deciding whether to scale a local fix
  • A funder trying to tell real systems change from good works
  • A student asking how a few people changed an unjust system
