          Recently, I expressed my view on “Creative Economy” which is an important economic policy of this government. Personally, my perspective was to first understand the direction of global social development in terms of seven waves from which the world is now poised for the “Fourth Wave,” a “Knowledge-Based Society,” led by innovators who can maximally utilize their knowledge toward daily living that is both productive and highly innovative. If Thailand wants to develop and benefit from this global development trend, the Thai government will have to ride on “The Fourth Wave,” as a Knowledge-Based Economy (Society), not just as a Creative Economy.

          Having written and spoken much in the past on the conceptual and practical aspects of social entrepreneurship, I now find people more interested in this topic, realizing that sole reliance on the government to solve social problems is slow and incomplete.
