Biography

David Bornstein is the author of "How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas". In this book, Bornstein tells the stories of people around the globe who are solving many of the world's most intractable problems. Full of hope and energy, exciting solutions and compelling characters, he shows how a growing wave of "social entrepreneurs" - individuals with initiative, creativity, savvy and determination - are reshaping the world for the better. These individuals - from doctors to lawyers, from engineers to journalists - are successfully demonstrating that one person with a powerful idea and a passionate drive to succeed can bring positive changes to the lives of thousands or even millions.

Bornstein is also the author of "The Price of a Dream: The Story of the Grameen Bank", which chronicles the worldwide growth of the anti-poverty strategy "micro-credit." The Price of a Dream, which drew on ten months of research in villages in Bangladesh, won second prize in the Harry Chapin Media Awards, was a finalist for the Helen Bernstein New York Public Library Book Award for Excellence in Journalism, and was selected by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the best business books of 1996.

Bornstein's articles have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, New York Newsday, Il Mundo (Italy), Defis Sud (Belgium) and other publications. He co-wrote the two-hour PBS documentary series "To Our Credit," which focuses on "micro-credit" programs in five countries.

David Bornstein received a Bachelor of Commerce degree from McGill University in Montreal and a Masters of Arts from New York University.
