• Change.org – Social Entrepreneurship: (Social) startups feel the pinch or philanthropy to the rescue?
  Nathaniel Whittemore reflects on how some people at SoCap argued that grantmaking philanthropy was not part of the "social capital markets". Give me a break!

Not a good framework for forming a "social capital market"!
