Hi Grace, I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll make it for tomorrow (Tuesday) at that Anti-Capitalism discussion... You see, I have a difficult biology project to hand in before Thursday, and I am afraid I may not be able to complete all of it if I don't make it a priority. Hope to see that handsome guy of yours soon!

Hi Jolie,

No worries :)

Btw, it is NOT an anti-capitalism talk. Not at all! And, I am by no means anti-capitalist! I truly believe in Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand" and the foundations of pure economics. However, the capitalist market has been distorted to the point of being inhumane. And that is what we, socially responsible leaders want to see "fixed" -- for business leaders to take into account a triple bottom line: monetary profit, social and environmental factors when making decisions for a company.

The capitalist paradigm can be made better. It can be a means to better society.
