"...currently we practise a minimalist type of citizenship. A good citizen votes, pays taxes, abides by the law. Anything beyond that - volunteering, or being helpful to neighbours, or addressing social problems - is considered optional (although it is esteemed).

What we need is a collective belief that with citizenship comes a responsibility to serve society. David Bornstein & Susan Davis

It has blinded people to other uses of business."
