'Social Innovation as Political Transformation makes a major contribution by going beyond critique of neoliberalism to offering positive proposals for social innovation. It brings together a group of distinguished scholars who show both the weaknesses of current identifications of progress with capitalist entrepreneurship and describes paths to more just societies.'--Susan S. Fainstein, Harvard Graduate School of Design, US and author of The Just City'This book is an inspiration for all who want to critically engage with social innovation. Unpacking complex processes in a clear way, it not only presents sophisticated theories but it also energises the willingness to act for a better world.'--Yuri Kazepov, University of Vienna, Austria
