Companies are increasingly championed for their capacity to solve
social problems. Yet what happens when such goods as water,
education, and health are sold by companies - rather than donated
by nonprofits - to the disadvantaged and when the pursuit of
mission becomes entangled with the pursuit of profit? In Caring
Capitalism, Emily Barman answers these important questions, showing
how the meaning of social value in an era of caring capitalism gets
mediated by the work of 'value entrepreneurs' and the tools they
create to gauge companies' social impact. By shedding light on
these pivotal actors and the cultural and material contexts in
which they operate, Caring Capitalism accounts for the unexpected
consequences of this new vision of the market for the pursuit of
social value. Proponents and critics of caring capitalism alike
will find the book essential reading.
