PRACTICAL SOLDIERS AGAINST INEQUALITY

Nasreen Sheikh tells her story, and how her group- 'The Empowerment Collective' is saving young women in Nepal from poverty and cruelty by providing a fair price for women's handicrafts, available through their website at LocalWomensHandicrafts.com.

Plus Andrew Behar, CEO of 'As You Sow', joins Thom to discuss share-holder activism and the dark side of Facebook.

Thom reads from 'The Entrepreneurial State' by Mariana Mazzucato- she argues that 'more state, not less' has always been the key to economic development in the United States historically, and today in the developing world.

And Thom also reads from 'Measuring What Counts: A New Dashboard for Well-Being' by Jean-Paul Fitoussi, Joseph Stiglitz, and Martine Durand.
