Who are the greatest innovators in the world? You are probably thinking Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford. The usual suspects. This book is not about them.

Description

It’s about people you’ve never heard of. It’s about people who are just as innovative, entrepreneurial, and visionary as the Jobses, Edisons, and Fords of the world, except they’re not in Silicon Valley. They’re in the crowded streets of Shenzhen, the prisons of Somalia, the flooded coastal towns of Thailand. They are pirates, computer hackers, pranksters, and former gang leaders. Across the globe, diverse innovators operating in the black, grey, and informal economies are developing solutions to a myriad of challenges. Far from being “deviant entrepreneurs” that pose threats to our social and economic stability, these innovators display remarkable ingenuity, pioneering original methods and practices that we can learn from and apply to move formal markets.

  1. Caroline Murphy

    There are important lessons to be applied individually and organizationally from this work; many of which are thought-provoking but intuitive. An absolute must-read!
