I am going to blog about your post on <a href="www.business4good.org" title="www.business4good.org" rel="nofollow">my blog</a> . Sachs' End of Poverty inspire me to change my business career into one of social entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility. Seeing Sachs in person speaking was again very inspiring. In general I have not seen a better development project in inspirational and explanatory power than the MVP (only Yunus' Nobel prize brought microfinance and deveopment closer into the broader audience). I have been following the Sachs vs. Easterly discussions for quite a bit. I certainly agree with Sachs in "if you won't try, you won't know" approach but one thing stuck in my head from an Easterly video. What about entrepreneurship? Also, another thing. What about education? I will try to learn as much from the MVP as possible and apply for the Mali Project which I am supporting.
