Abstract

This paper examines the link between economic activities and human social organization with a view to x-raying the roles social entrepreneurship can play towards addressing attendant consequences of economic activities, and other social problems facing human society today. Point is made about the centrality of human collectivities in market economy and the need for a shift from aggressive capitalism -driven by excessive profit-making -to conscious capitalism -driven by social altruism. The emphasis is on how economic action will spell fortune for society and not woe -like the kind that trailed post-revolution industrial adventurism.
