Yunus Video from AshokaDVD

Check out Ashoka's terrific video library.

http://www.youtube.com/user/AshokaDVD

Here is a video from Dr. Yunus defining limitations of current system for starting social business and pointing out current lack of institutions that support social biz development.



It is a general description of the current challenging environment for starting Social Business Enterprise with an inspirational ending, rather than being full of answers and examples. He effectively points out that there is no shortage of entrepreneurial activity around social business, what is lacking is institutional support.

A quote from the video:

"If we're going to run a social businesses enterprise right now we run into alot of problems because we have not set up supportive institutions alongside."

and...
"There will be initial problems, but if it sticks, if it grows, you can create your own world."

Create your own world! love that...
enjoy...
