Rodney Schwartz of ClearlySo listed a number of advantages of the social enterprise as a business:
- ability to raise capital at below market rates due to the ethical investment industry
- easier access to publicity
- labour costs below average, "as staff seems willing to work for below market rates in support of the values of social enterprises."
Schwartz described social entrepreneurs as extraordinarily innovative, deploying models that seem to derive results out of thin air.

—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Everything that explains the world has in fact explained a world that does not exist, a world in which men are at the center of the human enterprise and women are at the margin “helping” them. Such a world does not exist—never has.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
