Creative capital comes from Main Street

September 27, 2011 - Michael Brownrigg

In basic economics, a company uses two inputs – capital and labor – to take raw materials and convert them into finished goods for sale.  In the last century, a great deal of effort was put into making labor more productive through education, training, machinery, and information technology.  Whether on the shop floor or in the Board Room, labor became much more valuable.

By contrast, much less effort was put into making capital more productive, and what efforts existed were largely confined to Wall Street.

September 6, 2011 - Arthur Woods - The ‘for profit’/’not for profit’ paradigm is failing to deliver.

The Social Impact Bond (SIB) works in the same way as the International Finance Facility for Immunisation, originally proposed by the UK government in 2003. This structure captured future government cash flows from future aid budgets to change the incentive structure for scale.
