Doing Good within the Ethos of Business

David Brooks in The NY Times:

Earlier generations of benefactors thought that social service should be like sainthood or socialism. But this one thinks it should be like venture capital.

Good article, well-informed and balanced. Connects Bill Drayton and Bill Gates as exemplary of a new breed of highly educated, results-driven, "social entrepreneurs" whose preferred style and language is that of business.

I don't think Jesus would have had much praise for Ayn.
