Creative Capitalism

A fantastic new site has just launched that is totally dedicated to Creative Capitalism. Here’s what it’s all about in their words:
Creative Capitalism: A Conversation is a web experiment designed to produce a book — a collection of essays and commentary on capitalism, philanthropy and global development — to be edited by us and published by Simon and Schuster in the fall of 2008. The book takes as its starting point a speech Bill Gates delivered this January at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In it, he said that many of the world’s problems are too big for philanthropy–even on the scale of the Gates Foundation. And he said that the free-market capitalist system itself would have to solve them.
I’ve read through a bunch of the articles and so far it seems to be one of the best, most thoughtful forums I’ve seen on the subject. Here are two articles proposing the pros and cons of creative capitalism:
