Can we solve big public problems anymore? HBS Professor Mitchell Weiss (MBA 2004) believes that a renewed entrepreneurial spirit can transform the public sector's response to big problems at all levels. One of our biggest challenges? Faith in the democratic process itself. The Associated Press recently reported that only 15% of American voters said democracy in the US was working extremely or very well. Following a stream of evidence of what scholars call “a democratic recession”, a wave of entrepreneurs has emerged to repair democracy’s fissures wrought by racial inequity, technology, divisive rhetoric and more. In this timely virtual program inspired by his new book We the Possibility, Professor Weiss and Yordanos Eyoel, leader of New Profit’s Civic Lab, will share stories of modern-day democracy-inventors and the lessons they hold. When democracy is already on “red alert,” how can these new efforts be tested and scaled? How can they harness truth, justice, and reconciliation as the US emerges from the 2020 election?
