Jacqueline Novogratz: Tackling poverty with "patient capita

[joelet123]

although i am not sure about her points i agree that this was a nice ted talk emotionally charged

[wildprincess1911]

@subsoc, exactly. Whilst I agree that dignity and choice and freedom to act are true wealth markers, how do we solve widespread economic poverty through capitalism? When she said xyz company now employs 5000 people, I'm thinking that's a negligible percentage. Not to take anything away from her work, but it is. What I like though is the that she's hitting at the root. "Health" When I have no health and I'm poor and have no money, I am unable to change anything.

@bmsnz,

@bmsnz, subsoc is simply underlining the inherent irony of her presentation; she tries to answer to that in her presentation, but far from being rude, this is the key question of her work.

[bmsnz]

subsoc - what the hell is wrong with you.

[subsoc17]

you're such a nice white lady...charity foundations are how we create the societies we want to live in? a few success stories represents a successful economic strategy? how can you use a market system that thrives off of poverty to end poverty? you're out of your ideological box?
