Philanthrocapitalism again

[Jeff Mowatt]

Rather disappointingly, this time from Huff Post.

With an opening statement that brushes away all the social enterprise
advocacy for reforming capitalism, Tom Watson suggesta that social
enterprise was based on orthodox capitalism.

We read that Matthew Bishop said "social entrepreneurs should consider
seeking government stimulus funds to support their ventures "

Why do you think they don't know that this isn't a new idea at all?

It's to do with the Skoll Foundation Conference about changing
capitalism at Oxford recently.

It seems to be rather at odds with Jeff Skolls own views which are
that "social enterprise is by definition nonprofit, or at least the
ones we deal with". as this BBC interview reveals.

Anyone else confused?
