Author William Eggers on Business and Government Teaming Up to Solve Society's Problems
Description
Technology and new market models are chipping away at the idea that the government is the sole-solution provider to social problems, argues author William Eggers. Whether it's new ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft or established corporations like Coca-Cola funding clean water abroad, "companies are finding that they actually can create a mutual advantage between solving problems and making a profit." In this interview, Eggers discusses the growth of socially conscious businesses, the importance of multi-sector problem solving, and the hurdles some of these new market-oriented solutions are facing.
