Experts

Experts date back in the first century AD. Most of the time we like to behave like we trust experts, but at the corners of our mind these doubt.
Firstly we question the close association between Pharmaceutical companies and psychiatry. Secondly the former SA president Thabo Mbeki questioning the link between HIV and Aids, suspecting that science has been corrupted by its association with Pharmaceutical companies.
The Murdoch story and the most resent 2008 financial sector implosion caused by Harvard, Yale and Princeton graduates who flock to Wall Street.
Today we live in a world of large transnational corporate that still claim to function by the principles outlined in the 18th century. This principle simply states that business exist/competes to supply demand of the market place and making a profit.
While many years ago the originators of capitalism Britain banned shareholder companies cause of manipulation and theft.
The above stated scandals and failed economic systems, make me ponder the thought that these get to be an alternative.
My school initiative blog hopes to create an alternative business model, by giving school learners a platform to exchange and share ideas with Private companies to create social entrepreneurs in order to bring about social change.
