Abstract: Abstract Social entrepreneurship presents great opportunities for higher education, international development, philanthropy, advocacy, and community organizing. Yet it also presents real dilemmas. More definition is needed about the endeavor’s paramount aims. This chapter argues that social entrepreneurs should rethink their relationship with collective action; that they should revisit old ideas while also looking for new ones; and that critical thought be given to the field’s implicit assumptions about social innovation and markets.
