"Hi Paul.
Taking up what you say about CSR and social capitalism, I guess we really need to understand what each of us means. For me, social capitalism is such a contgract between business and society in which we see business having a primary social…"

What is Development for?
I found the report associated with this recent debate very interesting and coincidentally, when we launched in the UK as a social enterprise with experience in Eastern Europe, I'd contacted Lord…Continue

Here for example where we're asking the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for their help with an alternative to capitalism in 2008

Numbers versus People
The case for a business serving a primary social objective begins with us as a white paper proposing an alternate paradigm. This is the core argument from that paper."Manipulation of numbers, represented by currency/money, allows writing "new" money as needed. There is no tangible asset, or anchor. There are only numbers, managed by whomever might maneuver into position to do so. Economics came to be based on numbers, rather than real human beings." "On that basis, capitalism trumped people…See More

"Janette,
The model we introduced to the UK in 2004 has much in common with a B-Corp. It had been published in synopsis online in 1997 and then deployed to source a development initiative in Russia. This was described in an interview in 2004
In…"

The role of the media in changing behaviour
The invitation to this RSA event prompts a couple of perhaps provocative observations. The first relates to the Sunday Times, In February this year they published an article about an institution for disabled children at Torez in Ukraine. From the article reproduced here, I extract the following paragraph. "One champion of these needy children is billionaire Rinat Akhmetov. He has set aside millions to close…See More

Perhaps the most significant part of this work may be found in the strategy paper on Microeconomic Development and Social Enterprise in Ukraine which was delivered 5 years ago in October. It was to place the concept of capitalism and…"
Jeff Mowatt commented on Michael Townsend's blog post 'Sustainable Business Models: A Five-Tiered Approach'
"Hi Micheal, we begin by looking at the prevailing economic model, suggesting that this above all needs to be sustainable.
The business model focussing on using profit to stimulate local economic conditions is mapped out in several of the…"

Chris Yapp said… - that's me OK and i would be less polite with 30 years experience.
my favouriate is Prof adrian furnham who describes himself as an academic consultant psychiatrist.
an academic is omeone who analyses the real world to see if it works in theory
a consultant is someone who borrows your watch to tell you the time
A psychiatrist is a man who goes to a strip club to study the audience
Cheers
