[Our Man in Lima] Change the flower pot

[Erik]

I am linking to the next two videos in the same series on Grameen and Yunus. Both of these are well worth the three or four minutes they last, but my favourite is this one on creating a poverty-free world. "No matter how rich you get under the present [financial] system, you'll have poor people", states Mr Yunus. So let's change the system.

The other video focuses on social business entrepreneurs. A subject close to my heart. There exists a growing population of young people who don't see a contradiction between making money and helping the disenfranchised, but where are the educational and financial structures to accommodate them?

(Our Man in Lima has been Our Man Around Peru and Bolivia these last few weeks, so please excuse my absence!)
