Book Review: How to Change the World, by David Bornstein (New York: Oxford, 2007)

Posted in

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. Dubbed Ashoka Fellows, these individuals are committed to changing societal patterns through innovative ideas. 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.
