If you read Bob Sample's excellent post, Social Business and Microeconomic Opportunities for Youth Conference: A Personal Reflection, he addresses many of these concerns. In the upcoming weeks, you will see another post that will provide an assessment of some of the social businesses that have been launched in Bangladesh that address the unique challenges faced by social businesses and how they can be successfully addressed. Thanks! Kayainside,

I am in full support of this enlightment of capitalism and am ready to start a social business with the support of my community network here in Northwest Washington. The heart of this social business lies in Freedom from Suffering for all Beings, but we inter-weave individual projects supporting internal and environmental sustainability for our children. Getting the kids back into the wildreness, no matter their financial, ethnic backgroud. I am ready to launch but am looking for a step by step guide to starting the correct type of business to turn into a social business..... Does it matter if I open a business as a sole proprieter or a corporation? Is one more fit to shape into a social business then the other? Looking for resources to help co-create this process. thanks I have explored ‘Creating a World Without Povery’ intensely.

If there is no return to shareholders who would invest in such an enterprise? "Profit maximization" does not account for all of the "stakeholders" in a business enterprise and profit is a prerequisite to sustaining the enterprise itself. Identifying the shared interests of all stakeholders (including the poor) in business organizations could result in a "responsibility" dividend for society.

Gordon's historically informed, eloquent and thought-provoking viewpoint offers hope for the future--the kind of hope that leads to action and the type of societal and environmental transformation of which he speaks. In raising the question of what else might be possible, in calling for a new game, in concert with Dr. Yunus, Gordon has both reminded and demonstrated that any great movement in humanity begins with the bold stand of individuals. Thanks.

The story is in their eyes, which still search camera lenses for hope. There is nothing more gut-wrenching than a child who has no signs of hope. Grameen has graced us with insight into yet another way, one that is capable of self sustainment. What an eye opener.
