About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Microfinance goes mainstream

Ebay is starting a microfinance intiative! US clients of ebay can donate as low as 100 USD and choose which area it will go to. See article in finextra.com here. Again a service/good works which is being democratized and moving into a type of peer to peer model. Compassionate capitalism at its best!
