Jeff Trexler, a professor of social entrepreneurship at Pace University, writes on the blog JustMeans that there aren’t enough books that can provide students with a good introduction to the subject. Much of the literature on social entrepreneurship tends to be too uncritical, he says.
But Mr. Trexler notes two new books that are exceptions. First is Arthur C. Brooks’s Social Entrepreneurship: A Modern Approach to Social Value, which Mr. Trexler says “blends solid strategic advice from entrepreneurial practice with real-world examples from charitable businesses.”
The second book is the Urban Institute’s new collection on Nonprofits and Business. Mr. Trexler’s says the collection of essays looks at new trends, laws, and best practices.
Are there other books on social entrepreneurship that would suggest?
