Many feel disenfranchised because of globalisation and the efficiencies it brings, efficiencies which often mean unemployment for a workforce that is deemed replaceable. However, it is not only job threatened employees who are affected by the flexibility of globalised production and distribution systems. All across society, except for maybe the primary beneficiaries of this system, find their bargaining power diminished. Industrial Countries must compete with tax heavens for capital generated within their borders, labour as mentioned earlier will need to either be cut or operate with reduced real wages, and even shelter is speculated on by multinationals who may never live in it.
In all this the individual feels powerless, even those in supposed positions of power feel like they can not control the machines they help prop up. To a world where competition has led to such developments the only clear solution is to compete, but with good intentions. Social entrepreneurship is about having a voice in an increasingly noisy global marketplace; to impose one’s ethics on the soulless business world.
