The world may be going to hell, it really depends on what part of it you are working in. The idea of turning people into capitalist citizens before turning them into recipients of socialist programs is appealing to me. It coincides with the natural evolution of capitalism.
A little background on this guy:
As a high level bureaucrat, Bill Drayton conducted a secret operation from within the EPA that uncovered Reagan's corrupt appointees and led to the infamous Ann Gorsuch scandal which saw 1.6 billion in tax payer dollars essentially misappropriated and put into the pockets of wealthy Republican industrialists and the parties of deregulation.
He started Ashoka shortly thereafter. They have been pretty successful. They are far closer in idealogy to Yunus than to Compartamos.
