Live from the Momentum Conference, on the Social Edge forum

In the past several decades, we have seen a tide-shift in the way we think about social change.  The growing popularity of social entrepreneurship (both as a concept and a movement) is one major part of this, but it is just part.  It is a shift towards a growing recognition of the interconnectedness of issues, a paradigm in which words like 'effectiveness' and 'results' have trumped words like 'resistance, and 'domination.' It is a shift away from seeing any one individual, group, or organization as 'the enemy,' and towards seeing every single individual, group, and organization as part of the solution-- a critical part of the solution at that. 

If there is any one person whose journey is representative of these kinds of shifts, it may well be Adam Werbach, who I had a chance to chat with today before he gave a talk in the Carbon Plenary here at the Momentum Conference.
