Series Statement: The international library of critical writings in economics ; 243

Content: ... the book is a good example of the writing and reasoning style, sometimes vivid and intriguing, often used by NIE authors. Similarly, the book is a good sample of NIE's multidisciplinary approach to economics. . . The range of papers presented gives the reader a good picture of the variety of approaches used by NIE scholars, and their ability to integrate sociological and legal consideration within the economic analysis.' - Martino Bianchi, CEU Political Science Journal The field of institutional economics has witnessed a surge in interest over recent years and has attracted the attention of a growing number of social scientists. This topical and highly informative collection brings together critical writings on the relationship between institutions and economic performance. The included works encompass seminal cross-country studies of 'whether institutions matter', as well as leading examples of within-country studies on the role of specific institutions. This indispensable volume includes an original introduction by the editor which explores the definition and measurement of institutions. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in institutions and economic development.

Series Statement: What everyone needs to know

Note: Includes bibliographical references and index , Defining social entrepreneurship -- What is social entrepreneurship? -- When did it emerge as a global movement? -- Who are the pioneers? -- What does a social entrepreneur do? -- What are social entrepreneurs like? -- What is the difference between social and business entrepreneurship? -- What are the differences between social entrepreneurship and government? -- How is social entrepreneurship different from activism? -- What is the relationship between social entrepreneurship and democracy? -- Challenges of causing change -- What are the main financial constraints? -- How do social entrepreneurs build organizations and enterprises? -- Can the field attract and cultivate talented workers? -- How do social entrepreneurs evaluate their impact? -- What is the difference between scale and impact? -- What's stopping social change? -- Envisioning an innovating society -- How is social entrepreneurship changing minds? -- How could schools nurture social innovators? -- What is being done at the university level? -- What can governments do to engage more successfully with social entrepreneurs? -- How is social entrepreneurship influencing business? -- Can philanthropy be more effective? -- How will the field of social entrepreneurship influence journalism? -- How can individuals prepare themselves to participate in the field of social entrepreneurship? , "In development circles, there is now widespread consensus that social entrepreneurs represent a far better mechanism to respond to needs than we have ever had before, a decentralized and emergent force that remains our best hope for solutions that can keep pace with our problems and create a more peaceful world. The author's book on social entrepreneurship, How to Change the World, was hailed by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times as 'a bible in the field' and published in more than twenty countries. Now, he shifts the focus from the profiles of successful social innovators in that book, and teams with Susan Davis, a founding board member of the Grameen Foundation, to offer the first general overview of social entrepreneurship. In a Q & A format allowing readers to go directly to the information they need, the authors map out social entrepreneurship in its broadest terms as well as in its particulars. They explain what social entrepreneurs are, how their organizations function, and what challenges they face. The book will give readers an understanding of what differentiates social entrepreneurship from standard business ventures and how it differs from traditional grant based non-profit work. Unlike the typical top down, model-based approach to solving problems employed by the World Bank and other large institutions, social entrepreneurs work through a process of iterative learning, learning by doing, working with communities to find unique, local solutions to unique, local problems. Most importantly, the book shows readers exactly how they can get involved. It is for anyone inspired by Barack Obama's call to service and who wants to learn more about the essential features and enormous promise of this new method of social change"--Provided by publisher
