Sandal`s The Social Entrepreneur Pyramid: With a Nordic Perspective on Social Entrepreneurship"Dr. Sandal's analysis of existing social entrepreneurship in Scandinavia emphasizes it is not a movement confined to exploiting sporadic, temporary and extremely popular goods and services as a link in the chain of the welfare state's expanded social system. Instead, social entrepreneurship is a phenomenon representing as far as is possible a renewal and revitalisation of the democratic system itself. This condition is admirably displayed in both educational and analytical terms in Dr. Sandal's book. I have no doubt THE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR PYRAMID: With a Nordic Perspective on Social Entrepreneurship will be recognized as a major contribution helping people the world over understand the democratic potential of social entrepreneurship. I am very happy Dr. Sandal has written this compelling and important work."Jerr BoscheeFounder and Executive Director, The Institute for Social EntrepreneursInterim President and CEO, Social Enterprise Alliance
