It's Civil Society, Stupid! A Review of Small Change: Why Business Won't Save the World by Michael Edwards

Meyer Michael

Nonprofit Policy Forum, 2011, vol. 2, issue 1, 8

Abstract: With Small Change: Why Business Won't Save the World, Michael Edwards delivers a powerful critique of the movement he calls philanthrocapitalism. This review tracks his main arguments and summarizes the book's content. Despite a few weaknesses in sourcing its arguments, the book is strongly recommended both to academics and to practitioners, especially to the prophets and disciples of the venture philanthropy and social business.
