“Charity has its limitations”

A friend of G. Paschal Zachary makes the following comments:

One can imagine drawing a continuum of investing in poverty stricken countries.On the extreme hard radical right, you have vulture investors who buy defaulted debt of deeply impoverished countries and then litigate in international courts for recovery against the limited cofers of these countries. Such has happened to many countries including congo and zambia. On the other side of the spectrum are “social entrepeneurs” who’s url end in “org”. Deeply subsidized microlenders who
distribute profits to back to the country might be an example. But an org is an org, and I don’t consider them investors, social or otherwise. What I’m looking to do is more “com” than “org”, but I want to be comfortable that my investments are helping the country (and not just a select few entreprenuers). Since [the government] has stated that private sector investing is a key foundation of development, I feel I can invest and still feel that my activity is springing from my charitable side and not my profit maximizing side. I’m doing good, even if I do well
