For folks with Times Select, Nicholas Kristof wrote a nice op-ed piece on social enterpreneurship: Do-Gooders With Spreadsheets

Excerpt (I’m hoping this falls reasonably under fair use):

When I travel around the world, I’m blown away by how these people are transforming lives. A growing number of the best and brightest university graduates in the U.S. and abroad are moving into this area (many clutching the book “How to Change the World,” a bible in the field).

It’s one of the most hopeful and helpful trends around. These folks aren’t famous, and they didn’t fly to Davos in first-class cabins or private jets, but they are showing that what it really takes to change the world isn’t so much wealth or power as creativity, determination and passion.

Sho’ nuff.

Thanks Rob K.
