Spotlight: The Power of Unreasonable People launches at Davos
Some 1,500 copies of our new book, The Power of Unreasonable People: How Social Entrepreneurs Create Markets That Change the World, were distributed to participants at this year’s World Economic Forum summit in Davos. We thank Professor Klaus Schwab for this extraordinary opportunity. We also thank The Skoll Foundation for making this special printing possible.
In addition, it went in to the packs of all delegates to the first Dow Jones/Wall Street Journal ECO:nomics conference, held in March 2008 in Santa Barbara, California.
The book, which lays out the agenda that Volans Ventures will be pursuing, has been co-authored by two Volans co-founders, John Elkington and Pamela Hartigan.
Further details can be found on the Harvard Business School Press website.
