    Editor’s Choice, October 2016: A Neoliberal Takeover of Social Entrepreneurship?

    by | Oct 13, 2016 | 0 comments

    Jyoti Sharma’s article – A Neoliberal Takeover of Social Entrepreneurship? – published in the Stanford Social Innovation Review has been featured as Editor’s Choice in the Practioners’ Hub for Inclusive business.

    According to Jyoti, It is interesting to see the discussion that this article has initiated. She say, “For me, the big learning from this is that there were many of us who were thinking about this issue, but we had just not gotten around to putting pen to paper on this…

    “I am also humbled by the power of the comments and ideas that I have received in response to the article – through multiple media. The comments, I think, have more value for all of us than the article itself has! Within the next few weeks, I hope to be able to post a summary of the responses received and the way forward that they seem to suggest.

    “I think there is a need for like minded (and also those who disagree) thinkers on the issue to now look for possible solutions to stem this drift.”
