Economic inequality continues to contribute to political and social
instability around the world. This instability stifles development
and results in widening the wealth gap between the "haves" and
"have nots," further eroding stability. It has been argued that
entrepreneurship is a prime contributor to this vicious cycle.
Using Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation to Mitigate Wealth
Inequality contends that this is only true when the opportunity for
entrepreneurship is limited to a few. The authors maintain that
when entrepreneurship is open to anyone who is properly motivated,
innovative, and has a goal of growth for their enterprise, it helps
build wealth for a greater number of people. The concept of "social
entrepreneurship" is introduced, where entrepreneurship becomes a
vehicle for explicitly addressing community-based economic and
social challenges using markets. The book uses examples of
entrepreneurial projects and programs that have attempted to
address inequality to discuss entrepreneurship as an economic
development strategy and its role in addressing the challenges of
economic inequality. It advocates thinking and acting systemically,
creating and sustaining entrepreneurial support ecosystems, in
order to generate the synergy required to scale-up development and
transform our economies and provides a distinctive perspective on a
pressing social and economic issue, with significant implications
for the future of the United States and the world.
