Harvard endorses a business driven approach
I was fascinated to read this article only today advocating a business led approach to the reduction of poverty and terrorism.

In contrast, from our own website a paper from a decade earlier

Aww...come on
Aww...come on. It'd be a far bigger shock if Harvard didn't endorse a business driven approach.
I think, given the opportunity, Harvard might endorse a business driven approach to cutting my toe nails.
Post Neo Conservatism of Reagan and Thatcher hasn't the whole world preached business driven approaches to everything.
It doesn't appear to be working.
How about this for a shock headline: "Harvard says to help more people we need to raise taxes!"
It'd make much more sense but you won't ever read it.
Ah yes, but maybe a misunderstanding?
Hi ourman,
What I was trying to get across, is the similarity between the Harvard article and that of our own website from 1996:
http://www.p-ced.com/History/tabid/57/Default.aspx
Harvard in Russia were in fact the reason we got a chance to do social enterprise there.
I'm certainly no advocate for the Reagan and Thatcher (There's no such thing as society) approach coming in fact from a polar opposite doctrine. We would say that capitalism,even in its most benign form, fails to reach 25% of the population.
We'd recommend smart bombs, of the targetted economic variety to level the playing field that keeps others in permanent disadvantage.
Regards,
Jeff
