This book offers a fresh look at how social enterprises function as the center of a growing economy built on social responsibility. Using a comparative approach, the text examines how these organizations impact essential areas such as microfinance, fair trade, work integration, and the provision of general-interest services. It reinterprets social enterprises not just as charities, but as entrepreneurial organizations that successfully pursue social objectives through unique business models. This volume is part of the Routledge Advances in Social Economics series, making it a valuable resource for those studying the intersection of business and social impact. It provides a new way to understand how entrepreneurial methods can drive social change and support the broader economy.
