In this paper we want to affirm the desiring-social-change that we find in practices presently represented by theorists and policy-makers as examples of 'social entrepreneurship' (SE).

Its second half, however, dominates the concept of SE, and our analysis seek to remedy this imbalance by focusing on the social productivity of entrepreneurship, on entrepreneurship desiring social change. We suggest 'public entrepreneurship' might grasp this as a more balanced concept that will also support a more precise analysis of the entrepreneurship-society relationship.
