Capitalism - or reforming it, at least - has been a hot topic lately. In this short 2 minute video, Mitchell Kapor, founder of the Mitchell Kapor Foundation, speaks at the 2011 Social Innovation Summit on how impact investing may save capitalism from itself.

As the world faces growing inequality, he asserts that investing with meaning may not only be the missing piece in functional capitalism, but the balancing point on which we can begin to even out the disparities of wealth. If you're interested, you can watch the talk in its entirety as well.
