An article I wrote this past summer while interning at American Enterprise Institute was published today on The American, a magazine focused on political and entrepreneurial ideas in the marketplace.The article is about two recent college graduates who are blending their business minds with their caring hearts. It's part commerce, part philanthropy. As the organization's executive director says, it's an "I'll meet you in the middle" approach.
There is much to be harvested on this middle ground. I find much hope for the impoverished world through social enterprise--a blend of economic competition and humanitarian compassion. Such a combination has a promising future, and one that seems to appease this rising generation of business and political leaders.
