I gotta admit that I felt a bit sheepish when I got to the second chapter of Michael Edwards' new book, Small Change:  Why Business Won't Save the World, in which Edwards refers to "Jeff Trexler, one of the most interesting commentators in [the social enterprise] debate."  After all, one can only be so interesting when not speaking, and except for a few random blog posts & various declamations at last October's NYU SE conference, for the most part all you've heard from me in recent months are the sounds of silence. 

But that isn't to say I have nothing more to say.  Au contraire, mes freres and frerettes--I've been thinking quite a bit about le monde d'entrepreneurs qui répondent à des enjeux sociaux et environnementaux. In a few more weeks, after I wrap up some things in the so-called real world, yours truly will be back with a vengeance.

Well, I’m afraid I don’t have a copy of Michael Edwards' new book, Small Change: Why Business Won't Save the World. I wonder if this book tackles some tips about how to survive recession and how we can avoid loans like payday loans since we have so many financial needs. Well, its quite hard nowadays to live even thou they says that recession is turning down, I’m troubled that I still could not see the sign of recovery.
