I want to see the numbers he used to back up his stand that world wide poverty has been reduced by 2/3. I go back to the question "what is John's definition of poverty"?
Poverty will be alive and well in the 21st century unless a lot more changes than "conscious capitalism."

- I am unsure from other definitions of conscious capitalism that Whole Foods fits the bill. Particularly, their recent bids in acquiring Wild Oats and the refusals by Wild Oats because of the refusal by Whole Foods to cover employees' benefits. I would need to dig deeper to buy into any notion that Whole Foods is following what I would term social collaboration or conscious capitalism.
