The SIF and its SEIF sibling in the UK's NHS are initiatives which both exclude profit-for- social-purpose business. As a former manager at Oxfam he'll also know that they were criticised in 2000 for paying a £75,000 salary to their director. He may be reading the wrong books, of course. Today, as Davos 2010 started I was reflecting on Davos 2008 and a meeting of like minds in Philanthrocapitalism at the Ukrainian lunch. We'd been operating in Ukraine for 6 years, applying business to social problems and what was being said had a remarkable congruence with our own ideas on reform . Unfortunately, what was being done hadn't then gone much further. http://www.ecademy.com/node.php?id=143428 What Michael Edwards writes about Philanthrocapitalism rather surprises me.
