# Societal Movement Websites Philanthrocapitalism Claims to be the Future of Business & Social Good By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-02-01 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philanthrocapitalism References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/1681269/10-breakthrough-capitalism-opportunities-for-2013) & [philanthrocapitalism.net](http://www.philanthrocapitalism.net/) 'Philanthrocapitalism: How Giving Can Save the World' is a book written by Matthew Bishop and Michael Green and also includes a foreword by Bill Clinton in its newest edition. Bishop and Green also wrote the 2011 book 'The Road from Ruin: How to Revive Capitalism and Put America Back on Top' together. This begs the question of whether or not capitalism can truly "save the world" in the broadest sense and furthermore, whether or not the [United States](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-social-impact-initiative) can really be at the center of it all. (But isn't the U.S. at the center of *everything*?) Philanthrocapitalism is also a website and resource that promotes similar ideas. **Contact Information** Philanthrocapitalism [website](http://www.philanthrocapitalism.net/) Philanthrocapitalism on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Philanthrocapitalism/148406293025) Matthew Bishop on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/MATTBISH) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Philanthrocapitalism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new business models that combine capitalism with social impact to address global challenges. - **Societal Movement Websites:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop online platforms that facilitate and amplify social movements for greater impact and engagement. - **Capitalism and Social Good:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Discover ways to align capitalist principles with sustainable and ethical practices to drive positive social change. ### Where This Applies - **Social Entrepreneurship:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create ventures that use entrepreneurial strategies to solve social and environmental problems while generating financial returns. - **Tech Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build digital platforms that connect individuals, organizations, and resources to drive collective action for social causes. - **Sustainable Finance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative financial instruments and investment models that prioritize both financial returns and positive social impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Philanthropic Investment Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/builders-vision.md) - [Connective Non-Profit Funding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wingtap.md) - [Charitable Shopping Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-freely.md) - [Nonprofit Technology Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benevolent-tech.md) - [Philanthropic Media Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-to-the-street.md) - [Charitable Esports Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esports-for-good.md) - [Responsible Investment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/responsible-investment-platform.md) - [Social Responsibility-Aligned Corporate Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodbrand-impact.md) - [Charity Donation Discovery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charityexplorer.md)
