Or ddoes it have to have a political componant? Would the definition of "social entrepeneur" include people like Joseph P. Kennedy III, who makes money off Hugo Chavez' cheap oil program?
And what about the investors?Are the Venezuelans who pay for this subsidy in the form of higher oil prices at home, then, investors in social entrepeneurship?
Food for thought, eh?
