If there is an X PRIZE for collaborative thought leadership of the social ecosystem, this book would get it. The World that Changes the World is thought leadership at its best—envisioning the future through reflection and analysis of past trends and contemporary challenges. The multifaceted, multinational, multisectoral insights in this volume offer inspiration, ideas, and opportunity for action and impact. This is a comprehensive primer representing the diversity of perspectives that comprises the evolving global social ecosystem. The World that Changes the World puts together the pieces of this puzzle by explaining how these varied actors of the social ecosystem function and interact with each other. A valuable one-stop resource for the many players in, and observers of, the social ecosystem. The World that Changes the World should become the pocket guide for changemakers of the world in the same way that The Lonely Planet is for travelers of the world.
