Re: Non-profit capitalism - The Economist print edition

Hi Martin
 thanks for this, very interesting.

I was most intrigued by this:
"none of these recent philanthropic IPOs actually gives investors voting rights, unlike during the boom in "joint-stock philanthropy" in 18th-century England. Back then, social entrepreneurs such as Thomas Coram, who started the Foundling Hospital in London, were fired when they failed to perform".

so now I have another idea for one of our meetings - social business historical precedent........

hope all is well with you, thanks again
