A fairly detailed account of some of the most effective social action initiatives, many of them supported by social entrepreneurs like Bill Drayton, who founded an organization Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, to identify and support to self-motivated and dedicated social activists in different countries. This shows the difference between those of us who are merely well-intentioned, and those few remarkable individuals who are determined to make a difference, and to not take 'no' for an answer.… (lisätietoja)

Ce livre présente des individus qui résolvent des problèmes sociaux à grande échelle. Il ne s'agit généralement pas des gens célèbres.

It's not a right-wing vs. left-wing problem; McKinsey consulting is mentioned as often as the UN. Boorstein does rely almost entirely on social entrepreneurs from Ashoka for his examples.
