At the heart of these problems lies the current state of the economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile these challenges may seem insurmountable, this book provides hope. It explores how ordinary citizens can \"take back the economy\" through a strategy combining local and global actions. The central concept is \"social business,\" a business model that emphasizes “blended value creation” to drive systemic societal change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book presents case studies, outcomes from collaborative action research, and conceptual frameworks. These chapters are a result of joint work with activists, social entrepreneurs, social investors, and development organizations across four continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
