Regarding your question, keep in mind that in a theoretical social stock market, the price of a stock would be based not only on the social business's social returns, but also its financial returns -- which, going back to your article, further supports the idea that there is nothing wrong with profit-incentivized social organizations.Jessica Lee (Jelly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09027107822618523865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705976478130557656.post-9018927300741067112008-12-25T01:53:00.000-08:002008-12-25T01:53:00.000-08:00http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/25/opinion/25kristo...http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/25/opinion/25kristof.html<BR/><BR/>how funny! i haven't checked ur blog in months, but i read that article just today and really liked it--your post really reminded me of that. i just have one question--in the stock market, the value of a stock is (theoretically) tied to its profitability, right? so the higher dividends it pays, the higher its value. do you really think some numerical value of how much social good a company produces is enough to create enough demand for a company to raise its share prices? i mean, yes, i feel good if i invest in a company that is doing social good, but in the end my personal support isn't doing THAT much to benefit the company.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624374146711936610noreply@blogger.com
