Here's my blog about the roots of a “profit for purpose” model for social enterprise which began by defining its principles which led to the predicate that people are not disposable.

It begins with a white paper for Clinton's re-election committee describing a people-centered system of economics.

Just a few months ago, I found these words in the Vatican encyclical 'Caritas In Veritate'

“Striving to meet the deepest moral needs of the person also has important and beneficial repercussions at the level of economics. The economy needs ethics in order to function correctly — not any ethics whatsoever, but an ethics which is people-centred.”

Great post and thought provoking. I would have liked to see it address the grey area of markets more though…
