How are new incentives driving business to integrate their financial and social missions beyond CSR? William D. Eggers and Paul MacMillan set out to answer these questions and more in The Social Revolution . Eggers, Global Director of Deloitte Research, and MacMillan, Global Industry Leader for the Public Sector practice at Deloitte, explore how public and private are converging to solve our most pressing societal problems. The book highlights several examples of how the Social Economy is spawning new ecosystems, exchanges and currencies that collectively create new forms of economic organization, shifting the focus from the government-only model of problem solving.
