In the 2010s, entrepreneurship is about more than just creating new businesses. Entrepreneurs around the world are innovating to drive social and economic development, solve global problems, create employment, and change the game for billions.

Young World Shining traces the arc of change from Latin America and Africa to Southeast Asia and the turbulent streets of the Middle East. Rob Salkowitz brings his trademark combination of insight and first-hand reporting to explore the successes and challenges of global entrepreneurship as it emerges as a dominant theme in business, politics, development and education.

Drawn from writings that appeared on leading business sites such as FastCompany.com, Forbes, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, McKinsey Quarterly and Internet Evolution, Young World Shining adds depth and dimension to Salkowitz's groundbreaking 2010 work Young World Rising, and concludes with a hard-hitting new essay, "Entrepreneurship and Its Enemies." Available June 21 exclusively in eBook format for Kindle and iPad. 

It’s the business story of the decade: All around the world, young people armed with unprecedented access to networks and information technology are poised to transform the global knowledge economy from the bottom up. Bristling with new ideas, new ways to engage customers, new solutions to age-old problems, and new organizational models, Young World businesses are changing their futures… and ours.

Young World Rising tells their stories, and spells out how established organizations can engage with Young World entrepreneurs in a variety of ways to create new market opportunities and drive sustainable growth in the wake of the global recession. YoungWorldRising.com continues the conversation with blogs, communities, resources, and additional content.
