I Am A Social Entrepreneur- But what does that really mean?

Yes, I know Ford sympathized with the national socialist society model. It had, at the core, a social oriented foundation aiming to improve conditions for the working class people. Same as the communist socialism model of Marx and Engels. The way those ideal were perverted later is a different, sad story.
One good example for the modern mind set of the conventional type of entrepreneurs is the Volkswagen emissions scandal. The entire leadership of VW knew (even if they deny it now) that they were commiting fraud, on their customers as well as the authorities. And that there was a great propability that it would be discovered sooner or later. And yet, they could not resist to rake in the profits from this fraud. That those profits have been eaten up by multi billion fines and compensations VW had to pay, is not the problem of those who are responsible for the mess. They got fired - after receiving millions of wages and bonuses for their "good work".
