Description
35 years after his uncle, Marc Porat, coined the term Information Economy and predicted the rise of Silicon Valley, Aaron Hurst lays out his case that the next evolution of the American economy is emerging, this time based on the creation of purpose.
Building on his experience catalyzing the $15 billion pro bono service market and working with a new generation of entrepreneurs, Aaron describes how the new economy is changing work, organizations and markets to better serve people and the world.
Rich in concrete examples, case studies, entertaining personal anecdotes and the latest research, The Purpose Economy is the guide on how to thrive in the new economy and change the world in the process.
Advance Praise
"Building on his experience as the founder of Taproot, which connects commerce with social good, Aaron Hurst powerfully sums up in The Purpose Economy the fundamental changes taking place in the business world." --Arianna Huffington, Chair, President and Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post Media Group
"As people start to think more entrepreneurially about their careers, they look for opportunities where they can make a difference, not just a living. In The Purpose Economy, Aaron Hurst shows how this mass quest for self-expression in the workplace is reshaping corporate behavior and creating new economic opportunities. Filled with insights, this book helps clarify how technology is changing not only how we work but what we want from work." --Reid Hoffman, Co-founder/Chair of LinkedIn, Co-author of the #1 NYT bestseller The Start-up of You
"Aaron Hurst, a pioneer and visionary leader in social innovation, has captured a tectonic shift in the global economy that has local consequences for all of us." --Adam Grant, Wharton professor and bestselling author of Give and Take
