How to Solve the World's Toughest Problems
Strategies for long-term social impactThis important new book illustrates how to create the social
breakthroughs needed to solve urgent global threats such as
poverty, disease, and hunger. It then turns to three alternative,
but complementary, paths to social breakthrough: social protecting,
social exploring, and social advocacy, providing a detailed map of
the journey from initial commitment to a world of justice and
opportunity
- Examines the current condition of the social impact
infrastructure - Offers strategies for how to remedy the steady weakening of our
social-impact infrastructure - Provides tactics to build strong social organizations and
networks - Illustrates dynamic methods to respond to constant economic and
social change
Author Paul Light believes we should be less concerned about the
tools of agitation (social entrepreneurship, social protecting,
social exploring, and social advocacy) and more concerned about the
disruption and replacement of the status quo. Timely in its
urgency, this book describes the revolutionary social impact cycle,
which provides a new approach for framing the debate about urgent
threats.
