About Mal Warwick

Author, book reviewer, impact investor, social entrepreneur, public speakerCurrently my biggest project is my book review blog (www.malwarwickonbooks.com), where I typically post reviews of three or four books each week. I'm also actively engaged as board chair of the fundraising agency I founded in 1979, now named Mal Warwick Donordigital and employee-owned. And I serve on the board of the Fistula Foundation and Chair the board of the Bay Area Book Festival. I'm a member of the National Book Critics Circle and the Northern California Book Reviewers. From 1979 to 2009, I worked as a professional fundraising consultant to US nonprofit organizations and progressive political candidates and committees who share my commitment to positive social and environmental action, and to helping build civil society in emerging economies by teaching fundraising and communications to NGOs throughout the world.

Mal Warwick Work Experience Details
  • Self-Employed
    Book Reviewer
    Self-Employed Jan 2010 - Present
    Berkeley, California, United States
    Several times weekly I post reviews of the books I've most recently read. I cover nonfiction, especially history, biography, current affairs, and science. I read and review a great many mysteries and thrillers as well as science fiction and popular fiction, notably historical fiction. I review a book only when I've read it cover to cover, meaning that the many books I never finish do not appear on my blog. To access the blog, go to malwarwickonbooks.com. Each week I email subscribers a summary of the three to five book reviews I've posted during the past week.

  • Hell On Earth: What We Can Learn From Dystopian Fiction
    Author
    Hell On Earth: What We Can Learn From Dystopian Fiction Jul 2017 - Present
    After the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the US, The Handmaid’s Tale, 1984, and Brave New World returned to the bestseller lists. The reemergence of these classic dystopian novels prompted me to take a closer look at the genre. In the months that followed, I refreshed my memory of the three classics and other dystopian tales, re-read some, and read dozens of others for the first time. Along the way, I’ve reviewed a great many of those books. Sometime in March 2017—I don't remember exactly when—I decided to pull together all my thoughts about the field in a new book. It’s available now on Amazon.If you’re a science fiction fan, like to speculate about the future, enjoy reading novels that challenge your preconceptions—or if you’re simply concerned with the direction our society is taking—you’ll enjoy my new book, Hell on Earth: What we can learn from dystopian fiction. Well, maybe not enjoy, but find it thought-provoking.You can learn more about the new book here for the Kindle edition, or here for the paperback. The publisher set the paperback price at $9.73. The Kindle edition costs just $2.99. Click here for a free preview of the book.

  • The Business Solution To Poverty: Designing Products And Services For Three Billion New Customers
    Co-Author
    The Business Solution To Poverty: Designing Products And Services For Three Billion New Customers Jan 2013 - Present
    This book, co-authored with Paul Polak, was released Sept. 9, 2013. In a bold challenge to the prevailing wisdom about addressing global poverty, Paul Polak (Out of Poverty) and Mal Warwick (Values-Driven Business) advance a visionary, market-driven solution sure to ruffle feathers in corporate boardrooms as well as at the U.N., the World Bank, and the leading NGOs promoting traditional economic development programs in the Global South. In 1950, the world’s population was 2.6 billion; today, 2.7 billion people struggle to get by on $2 a day or less. Asserting that none of the known players in the field has surmounted its biggest challenge — achieving scale — and that today’s multinational corporations have failed to grasp the opportunities for profit from billions of new customers, Polak and Warwick offer what they believe is the only practical answer to this challenge. They contend that severe poverty can be ended only by an infusion of private capital into new, mission-driven, multinational businesses that provide essential goods and services at affordable prices to the billions living in rural areas on $2 a day or less — and hire tens of millions of local staff in the process. They spell out, step by step, the guidelines and principles of a revolutionary new approach to designing and building profitable, large-scale, social enterprises that supply safe drinking water, electricity, housing, education, healthcare, and other necessities — a method they call Zero-Based Design.
