In How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, author David Bornstein describes how members of the Ashoka community—a global association of leading social entrepreneurs—have used their passion to foster systemic change around the world.

As a journalist who focuses on social innovation, Bornstein’s accumulated expertise in this growing topic enables the content of the book to befit its ambitious title.
