The End of Charity

I finished the "End of Charity" book I bought while in New Zealand. I was so inspired that I couldn't sleep until 1am!

The book is about social responsibility - not just of individuals but of businesses. It presents the idea that businesses can make profit a secondary goal after their primary goal of being a positive entity in society.

Along the same lines, I just got an email from an American site where individuals can LEND (not give) money to other people at reasonable interest rates.

The site directed me to this one, where you can vote to encourage more P2P lending. The comments are very interesting.

I don't use that site to lend money, but I do use Kiva. I love looking at my portfolio.
