&lt;p&gt;      &lt;em&gt;futile &lt;/em&gt;ground is right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actually, i know that was a typo - but seriously, it is really true, because social capitalism is a &lt;strong&gt;system&lt;/strong&gt; providing a matrix for enterprise based on a two-tiered economy, but the enterprise that is possible now must be rooted in the existing matrix of balls-to-the-wall profiteering that&amp;nbsp; embues the enterprises we select for so effectively today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i am just now studying up on this, so i may just be blowing smoke! Gotta watch me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;stay tuned... hehe!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I&amp;#39;ve started this new discussion because I want to air the benefits and disadvantages of this much talked about and selectively implement business format, social capitalism.&amp;nbsp; On the surface it appears to be a win-win endeavor.&amp;nbsp; The company is a self sustaining business entity that either directly or indirectly provides benefit to other individuals and society as a whole.&amp;nbsp; Ideally, they practice teaching people to fish, rather than feeding them fish.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If in fact, this model is all that it appears to be on the surface, why are there not more?&amp;nbsp; How can we promote the establishment of new social capitalistic organizations?&amp;nbsp; Where are the seeds and where is the futile ground? &lt;/p&gt;
