Last week I was among a small team of londoners who received news of the huge privilege of :

choosing 1000 london citizens 

to meet yunus for 2 hours 

to identify citizen projects that can help wave social business's new capitalism around the world.

This is the book that I will be getting 1000 copies of to ensure that londoners have a common basis for propagating this debate. The subtitle reads: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism - the publishers summary is at http://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/publicaffairsbooks-cgi-bin/display?book=9781586484934


Its my understanding that if this experiment goes well enough, Dr Yunus will want to repeat it other cities where he has a couple of hours off from official itineraies. So I am hoping that other cities can help with sugegstions of how to profile who to invite and conversely that london can be a learning case from which others can build on
