Description

Paul Hawken’s book Blessed Unrest was released in May 2007, and this short article from Orion magazine introduces the main themes. The book contains some genuine breakthrough thinking relating to the work of the citizen and community sectors, and to the role of social entrepreneurship in creating wider movements for change. It is a collection of visionary essays ... many of which explore the deeper roots of philanthropy and active citizenship. And it also contains an extensive appendix which outlines a taxonomy of what just what the “world’s biggest movement” is focusing on. This list is essentially a map of the agenda for 21st century social entrepreneurship and philanthropy.
