The results of social innovation – new ideas that meet unmet needs – are all around us. They include fair trade and restorative justice, hospices and kindergartens, distance learning and traffic calming. Many social innovations were successfully promoted by the Young Foundation in its previous incarnations under Michael Young (including some 60 organisations such as the Open University, Which?, Healthline and International Alert). Over the last two centuries, innumerable social innovations, from cognitive behavioural therapy for prisoners to Wikipedia, have moved from the margins to the mainstream. As this has happened, many have passed through the three stages that Schopenhauer identified for any new ‘truth’: ‘First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.’
