But social entrepreneurs across the world are addressing these big problems in innovative ways. The New Ism seeks to build their innovations into the fabric of modern society, creating a new economic system that is fit for the modern world.In the first book of this series, Mel Young and Alexandra Matthews demystify what it means to be a social entrepreneur and explore how their work could help us all to create a sustainable, inclusive world where humans live within the means of the planet and all life can thrive. Through interviewing social innovators and disruptors, and Mel's experience as a leading social entrepreneur himself, they have a unique vantage point on what could just be the key to a brighter future.
