As the partisan divide in U.S. politics grows wider, actionable and proactive policy making becomes more difficult to achieve. To address growing social issues, then, a more flexible and evidence-based approach must be realized. In the last 40 years, the United States has employed varying levels of public-private partnerships to more effectively serve public needs, making space for private participation in social good. Research from communication studies, the Pew Research Center, and other market analyzers demonstrate that today's consumer market is beginning to expect such public participation from corporations, employers, and investors. This aligning landscape of less effective government and growing social enterprise provides a unique opportunity for public policy ti incentivize private financing toward innovative social solutions in order to stimulate and sustain the social market. |
