Praise for Rippling

With Rippling, Beverly Schwartz has advanced thinking and practice about entrepreneurial endeavours that strive to transform systems. Her key contribution lies in the practical aspects of becoming a changemaker, whether or not one sets out to start one's own venture or join the growing ecosystem of organizations springing up around the world to support these pragmatic visionaries and their teams.

From toilets for slums to technology linking small-scale farmers with international markets, Rippling takes readers on an inspiring journey to places where smart ideas and innovative business models are tackling big global problems. This is an important and timely book for anyone interested in new solutions for our complex and fast-changing world.

Packed with examples of changemakers tackling the world's thorniest challenges, Rippling is a must-read for anyone committed to effecting positive change, regardless of age, income, or geography. Schwartz inspires with her blueprint for committed social entrepreneurs to fundamentally change the very systems that those less creative simply assume are so.
