Draft Chapter Review

[Social Entrepreneurship] is complete. Other texts have a very biased smathering of topics which reflect the building of the subject area as an academic course. The textbook shows evidence of consolidation of the subject area and that the area as a whole is settling into social entrepreneurship as a theory.
