If the helplessness and isolation of labour, who have nothing to sell but their labour, can be totally removed by connecting labour with capital through a universal credit system, we'll then have other kinds of actors on the economic scene different from what the existing capitalist world would allow us to bring out.

An individual poor person is an isolated island by himself and herself. IT can end that isolation overnight.

I think, social business is the most logical thing to do. If we had done that, we could reduce all the problems we have.

Human beings are much bigger than just making money.

People.. were poor not because they were stupid or lazy. They worked all day long, doing complex physical tasks. They were poor because the financial institution in the country did not help them widen their economic base.

I’m encouraging young people to become social business entrepreneurs and contribute to the world, rather than just making money. Making money is no fun. Contributing to and changing the world is a lot more fun.

Human beings have enormous resilience.
