“Disruptor” is defined as “a company or form of technology that causes radical change in an existing industry or market by means of innovation.” In recent history, it is also being associated with politics or even violence. With the start of this new Financial Policy Council series (Positive Disruptors for Change), we will explore how creativity, initiative and persistence is changing non-technology-related aspects of our economy in positive ways.
