The U.S. started as a capitalist society and has evolved into a mix of capitalism and socialism. As society and technology evolves, how should our economic system evolve in response? In this episode, Sir Ronald Cohen, “the father of British venture capital” speaks with Tom about the importance of social impact and what impact investing is evolving into and how it can change the social world for the better. Creating systems that support entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and social responsibility of big companies is just the tip of a massive iceberg. Listen in to see how this all ties into our natural desire to evolve and strive for more than just money.</p> <p> </p> <p><span class="s2">Order Sir Ronald Cohen’s new book, Impact (all proceeds donated to impact charities):</span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.co.uk/Impact-Reshaping-capitalism-drive-change/dp/1529108055/"> <span class= "s8">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Impact-Reshaping-capitalism-drive-change/dp/1529108055/</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span class="s2">SHOW NOTES:</span></p> <p>Impact Investing | Sir Ronald explains what’s reshaping a new economic system [1:57]</p> <p>Coming to Britain | Sir Ronald reveals how he moved from Egypt and ended in Britain [4:48]</p> <p>Venture Capital | An overview of how venture capitalism came to be and what it is [7:23]</p> <p>Social Impact | Getting an accurate view of a company’s impact not just profits [9:41]</p> <p>Deciding | Sir Ronald gives tips on what to look for evaluating a company’s impact [12:47]</p> <p>Red
