(Ted D. Zoller, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)The public sector is overwhelmed when it comes to the problems it needs to solve. Government faces a crisis of limited resources and a polarized leadership. What Buffett and Eimicke outline in Social Value Investing is how the private sector can fill the vacuum. It isn�t about eliminating the need for government, it�s about how to infuse the public sector with the innovation needed to make a dent into our collective societal challenges, like affordable housing, health care, transportation, or climate change. Bottom line, this book serves as a blueprint for our government officials to address one of our society�s most vexing challenges: our inability to actually solve problems. (Chuck Todd, Host of Meet the Press)'Making a significant positive impact on the world is the holy grail of today's philanthropists, along with a growing number of businesses and public sector organizations.
