**Innovation Across the Nonprofit, Private, and Public Sectors.**

Modern social entrepreneurship is transforming the way we invest our money and change
the world. Within 10 years, investors will channel hundreds of billions of dollars
to achieve positive social and environmental impact in housing, health, education,
energy, and financial services across the globe. While there are extraordinary financial
and social gains to be made, many unanswered questions remain.

What’s the best way to harness markets to promote social change? And what kinds 
of investments can we make across the nonprofit, private, and public sectors to 
achieve a more shared prosperity?

This book demystifies the complex world of social entrepreneurship, providing all
the information you need to understand social investment and innovation, whether
you’re a private investor, policymaker, nonprofit manager, or passionate and engaged
donor.

In clear and straightforward language, former McKinsey executive Georgia Levenson
Keohane charts the development of what the _New York Times_ calls “the emerging 
hybrid of philanthropy and private equity.”
