This is a fascinating and exiting area of commerce that you are looking to explore in following blogs. I believe the success of social entrepreneurs and the cause-driven businesses as you describe them are vital, if not paramount to our future and that perhaps this area of business is the renaissance in thought (and action) of our time. If we, as i suspect a vast number people do worldwide, seek to repair the environment and tackle global social injustices, then the social entrepreneur and the social economy she/he seeks to create is a key element of this mission. Business has caused a huge amount of the problems that are ever-present and endemic in our world and therefore i believe business is the key to changing the world we live in. To achieve this 'social economy' we need to be social entrepreneurs ourselves and be the change we so desperately need and deserve. Simon Evill Dear Ethan,
