An Executive Summary of 'The Solution Revolution: How Business, Government, and Social Enterprises Are Teaming Up to Solve Society's Toughest Problems' by William Eggers

Just finished reading the new book by William Eggers called The Solution Revolution: How Business, Government, and Social Enterprises Are Teaming Up to Solve Society's Toughest Problems. The book explores how businesses have recently joined governments and non-profits in addressing public goods and social goals. It's an interesting discussion about an important and timely topic--though the reading experience leaves much to be desired. I've written a full executive summary of the book available here: http://newbooksinbrief.com/2013/10/08...

Interesting and true. However, as clearly stated there is a 5 trillón market with associated profits.
The solution of invoking private enterprise to solve poverty and to impulse development is correct.
The only problem is that it could make the income disparity even worse.
Ultra high profits in underdeveloped areas could make the super rich even richer. The poor and middle class would get the crumbs.
In developed countries income disparity is growing and it's a real problem.
Governments must tackle that problem before social unrest destroys our economy. Capitalism is very good. But it's motivation is profit and at the end there will be only one. One very rich person or group.
