First Blighty and then the World!

Our member of the Government, Minoru Yonekura, Deputy Director General for Economic Policy, tells us that the Japanese Government estimate there are 8000 social enterprises in Japan contributing 25 billion yen to GDP.

As Stephen Bubb has suggested the need for a World Social Investment bank, and his willingness to Chair it, perhaps they have a starting point. Who says the Brits don't know how to think big?
