Enter the world of the social entrepreneur. A global community of doers, thinkers and leaders who mix business with grass-roots activism to make social change possible.

Vinod Kapur created a new breed of chicken that feeds some of the world’s poorest villagers. Betty Makoni empowers young women across Africa through her Girl Child Network. Stephen Burks connects developing world artisans with high fashion brands. They are but three.

In this book, author and activist Asheem Singh explores how a movement of tiny ventures evolved into a global humanitarian and financial juggernaut, revealing new ways to fight privilege and inequality, rewire philanthropy, government and even capitalism itself.

This is a guide to an exhilarating and inspiring world where, through our giving, campaigning and even through our choices as consumers, we can all play a crucial role in taking on the biggest social challenges of our time.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"The Moral Marketplace puts the hype around social entrepreneurship into a wider political and ethical context, providing a hopeful vision for turning enthusiasm into positive social action." David Floyd, Managing Director, Social Spider "A remarkable book in dangerous times. Asheem Singh shows with brio, verve and wit, how civic and social activism is retaking its rightful place at the heart of all that is good about our world. He presents us with a carnivalesque cast of characters of dizzying variety and a book whose prescriptions should influence at the highest level. Singh is one of this generation's most exciting and accessible young thinkers." Phillip Blond, Director, Respublica "The Moral Marketplace is the most important work on social activism and the third sector to emerge this decade. Asheem Singh argues that only a fiercely progressive approach to changing the world will work. The future lies in these pages: not just for charities or social entrepreneurs, but for all of us." Sir Stephen Bubb, CEO of Charity Futures "Bursting with timely insights The Moral Marketplace makes an important contribution to our thinking about communities and social entrepreneurs. Far from being a dry academic treatise, Asheem Singh's book reads like a novel. Highly recommended." Professor Matt Qvortrup, Coventry University, author of 'Angela Merkel: Europe's Most Influential Leader' "This book is the rallying cry for the socially conscious, business-savvy radical who knows that it's not enough to make a difference: today you can be the difference." Doug Miller, Asian Venture Philanthropy Network Chairman "This book whirls the reader around the world and through history, telling stories which show a way forward that really will change things." Kate Welch OBE DL, Chief Executive, Social Enterprise Acumen CIC
