	USNews.com: The social entrepreneur: Bill Drayton
		It's a model of change that Drayton calls social entrepreneurship--a term he coined to describe individuals who combine the pragmatic and results-oriented methods of a business entrepreneur with the goals of a social reformer.
		Indeed, although Drayton is constantly in a bureaucrat's uniform of a plain navy blue suit and a skinny tie, one can almost imagine him in monk's robes, fascinated disciples at his feet.
		Yet Drayton, like three of his heroes, Mohandas Gandhi, Thomas Jefferson, and Jean Monnet (architect of European common currency), is a scholar and political operator deeply rooted in the hows and whys of society.

		Bill Drayton remembers it as his first brush with the dynamics of being an entrepreneur: five years old, standing in his bedroom, selling little items to his parents' dinner guests.
		Drayton is the founder of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, an international organization based in Arlington, Va., that has supported 937 social entrepreneurs in 33 countries - all local people involved in self-started projects ranging from slum improvement to saving girls from prostitution.
		Drayton's fascination with entrepreneurship grew from childhood into a vision hinging on two convictions: that positive social change can come through highly motivated people anywhere, and that a collegial organization, supporting the uniqueness of social entrepreneurs, can help them achieve their goals.

		Like Vinoba Bhave, Drayton is in his own way walking through the world and trying to persuade as many people to sign over their rights as a cog and join him.

		Drayton's preamble catalogued many sins of George III but the catalogue was cut too short and the description of his majesty was too mild to satisfy a man that had been spurned and a mind that was aflame.

	A Lever Long Enough to Move the World
		Drayton, 61, is a slight man, nearly inconspicuous, with thin hair and a frumpy suit.
		To Drayton, these "hybrid value chains" are a no-brainer; the divergence of the consumer and citizen sectors was a "nonsensical historical accident" in the first place, and their reintegration is "profoundly important for the health of both." Business must use social networks to reach new markets.
		Drayton speaks often of Jean Monnet, the brilliant financier and diplomat who, in the 1940s and 1950s, drove for the unification of Europe.

		Two provincial bills and one piece of federal legislation aimed at either controlling the sale of the chemicals used in the production of methamphetamine (crystal meth) or forcing drug-addicted children into treatment are seen as something positive by both Mayor Diana McQueen and Const.
		The bill would see these chemicals change from Class B substances under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to Class A substances, which would allow for the prosecution of individuals in possession of quantities of these substances that they do not have a licence to possess.
		He said some might see Jablonski’s bill as a case of the state intervening in parental affairs, but he said what is at stake is the welfare of children in need of treatment for drug addictions.

		Bill Drayton, the founder and CEO of Ashoka, won't make an investment unless he is totally convinced that 1) an idea is absolutely groundbreaking, 2) it is replicable and 3) the entrepreneur behind the idea won't rest until he or she has revolutionized how the world's most enduring problems are tackled.
		Depending on where the entrepreneurs want to conduct their work, the three-year investment can be as little as $3,000 a year (in Bangladesh) or as much as $50,000 a year (in the U.S.).
		In 1984, Drayton was honored with a $200,000 MacArthur "genius grant," which enabled him to quit his job at McKinsey and devote his time to developing Ashoka.
