Summary
Introduction
The previous section illustrated the complex properties of the change process spawned by social entrepreneurs. We observed how the new attractors become a gateway for pursuing social entrepreneurs’ goals (covering education gaps, protecting endangered species, and developing disenfranchised communities) and, moreover, how they empower societies in a generalized way, whether it be economically or in the area of civic participation.
