Unreasonable Men and the Quest for a Malaria Vaccine

Billy Shore of Share Our Strength

My good friend Billy Shore is the founder and executive director of Share Our Strength, one of the world's leading organizations in the quest to end childhood hunger.  Billy was a senior aide to former U.S. Senators Gary Hart and Bob Kerrey and was selected as one of "America's Best Leaders" by U.S. News and World Report in 2005.

He has a new book coming out called The Imaginations of Unreasonable Men: Inspiration, Vision, and Purpose in the Quest to End Malaria (his fourth; see all of Billy's books here) which follows the story of two audacious scientists who have been racing each other for 30 years to develop the malaria vaccine. He uses the narrative to broach the question, “How do you solve the problems of hunger, disease, and other critical social problems with no natural market?”

Here an article link describing the book and Billy's insights on social innovation, published by Community Wealth Ventures, Share Our Strength's social enterprise consulting firm:
