All You Want to Know About "Creative Capitalism"
Unbeknownst to me, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has just set up a discussion blog about "creative capitalism" (also see a previous post). As I've said before, I am not so keen on the terminology. Still, I'd say that the participant list there is even more impressive than the by invitation only membership to Martin Wolf's blog. Not only are economists involved, but also other academics and business leaders from all walks of industry. Visit it if you have the inclination and the time:
