This instability stifles development and results in widening the wealth gap between the \"haves\" and \"have nots,\" further eroding stability. It has been argued that entrepreneurship is a prime contributor to this vicious cycle. \u003cem\u003eUsing Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation to Mitigate Wealth Inequality\u003c\/em\u003e contends that this is only true when the opportunity for entrepreneurship is limited to a few. The authors maintain that when entrepreneurship is open to anyone who is properly motivated, innovative, and has a goal of growth for their enterprise, it helps build wealth for a greater number of people. The concept of \"social entrepreneurship\" is introduced, where entrepreneurship becomes a vehicle for explicitly addressing community-based economic and social challenges using markets. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book uses examples of entrepreneurial projects and programs that have attempted to address inequality to discuss entrepreneurship as an economic development strategy and its role in addressing the challenges of economic inequality. It advocates thinking and acting systemically, creating and sustaining entrepreneurial support ecosystems, in order to generate the synergy required to scale-up development and transform our economies and provides a distinctive perspective on a pressing social and economic issue, with significant implications for the future of the United States and the world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas S.
