Nic Frances is a social entrepreneur. He once worked for
charity. This is the story of how he came to understand that
charity can never deliver a just and sustainable world. It is only
through a value-centred market economy that we will ever see real
social change. Breaking new ground and drawing on his encounters
with business and social leaders around the world as well as his
own richly-lived experiences, Nic Frances leads us through his
principles of social entrepreneurship. He introduces us to the
powerful idea that the market can be a tool for delivering a range
of values besides profit. He explains the growing recognition that
corporate social responsibility benefits businesses as well as the
community and that welfare organisations will only be really
effective when they start exploring social enterprise and corporate
partnerships.The End of Charity is as hopeful and as it is
inspiring. It heralds a breakthrough to lasting change to the
seemingly intractable problems of poverty, injustice and
environmental sustainability. It is a book for everybody who cares
about the future.
