Social Entrepreneurship: Theory and Practice is well worth the time of anyone interested in the field.In a nice difference to many other books on the subject, this book situates social entrepreneurship to broader theories of social change. For me, this is the unique and valuable contribution the book makes.My only hesitation about recommending the book as a stand alone reader on the subject of social entrepreneurship is that the focus is decidedly heroic. This book like many do a great job of looking into the actions of successful individuals in the field. I would like to see complementary discussion about social entrepreneurship as these venturesoperate in organizational, community, and larger levels of interaction.Nonetheless, I highly recommend this book as a concise review of social entrepreneurship as an approach to address complex social problems.This is a very serious book.It is a researcher at the University of Warsaw whose main interest is profound, peaceful social transition for the good of all. His entire life has been dedicated to social change and he was active about social change for Solidarity rose to power and the Wall came down. It is also an erudite sociologist. SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP adeptly examines numerous "how-to" theories of social change. It compares and contrasts conceptual models which fit some situations but not others - and sometimes even seem to be in conflict with each other. Other than advocating profound, peaceful social transition and the positive process of systemic change,It does not seem to favor one model over another but instead illustrates through examples of people who are really making social change on a mass, if not continental, scale how each theoretical concept can be seen to fit into the whole. From the dynamics of social change, through the concept of social capitol, through "transformational" change, even tackling the insoluble, intractable social problems confronting the world today, it provides a coherent insight, clearly delineated, well reasoned thoughtful and sometimes painfully honest examination of what we understand about social change and where the whole "field" of social entrepreneurship is today.Thank you!
