If yesterday was all about pragmatics and advice from the tech sector, for some reason today is all about big thinking:

Business, Ethics, Barcelona: Doing Good When You're Not Doing So Well: frog design's Tim Leberecht writes some reflections from a recent Net Impact co-sponsored event in Spain. Designmind has definitely become one of my absolute top blogs of late.

Negative Discount Rates & Pete Singer: Inspired by the recently published The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty., Sean Stannard-Stockton pulls a model of understanding future vs. current value from the financial world to help us consider our philanthropic options. Great post.

The Need to Fund Social Entrepreneurs: Moses Lee argues on Next Billion for a middle space for financial expectations and funding for social entrepreneurs. The comments are as instructive and thoughtful as the original post. Hat-tip Social Capital Markets.
