The idea that non-profits, by developing models that address symptoms and save a disproportional few, can be a distraction from NOT addressing the root causes -- not stopping the flow of harm --is a brilliant idea. Corporations are always "greenwashing" happy to get credit for their pittance donations while making things worse. Marianne Williamson would agree with this talk. I am not sure that upholdng "greedy" will not backfire. Catchy reversal, but dangerous. I know of other hybrid enterprises that provide jobs, while focusing on regeneration. The Inn at Shakermill Falls, for instance. All are struggling for lack of capital investment. Beyond capitalism -- yes. Working together -- yes. Influencing values -- now we are talking, showing the harm fostered by the current priorities -- we are still NOT reaching the people who have the resources to change the culture. They will always protect their own interests -- always buy politicians. Tell me about a model that will dethrone the wealthy who are in control?
