Social Entrepreneurship in Education Private Ventures for the Public Good

Social Entrepreneurship in Education chronicles the twenty-five-year history of entrepreneurs who responded to the call of A Nation at Risk and launched an education industry. It tells the story of these "education entrepreneurs" and the lessons they learned, leveraging entrepreneurial principles to solve public problems and create social change.
