THE SOLUTION REVOLUTION How Business, Government, and Social Enterprises Are Teaming Up to Solve Society's Toughest Problems

With his documentary vocal style dominating his approach to this important book, narrator Rick Adamson gets the phrasing right and makes everything clear. He's earnestly engaged with the material, but his limited pitch patterns sound repetitious and dampen the listening experience by making the audio sound overly serious and lacking in personality. The authors offer a menu of innovative, edgy approaches to society’s most vexing problems. With their thoughtful explanations of solutions from around the world, they show how businesses can collaborate with government and social enterprises to focus on nonfinancial alternative currencies such as health outcomes, environmental sustainability, and community productivity. The partnerships and initiatives they’ve discovered provide needed direction and hope in the midst of government paralysis and a profit-obsessed business culture.
