问答题A hundred years ago it was assumed and scientifically" proved" by economists that the laws of society made it necessary to have a vast army of poor and jobless people in order to keep the economy going. (46) Today, hardly anybody would dare to voice this principle. It is generally accepted that nobody should be excluded from the wealth of the nation, either by the laws of nature or by those of society. The opinions, which were current a hundred years ago, that the poor owed their conditions to their ignorance, lack of responsibility, are outdated. In all Western industrialized countries, a system of insurance has been introduced which guarantees everyone a minimum of subsistence (生活维持费) in case of unemployment, sickness and old age. I would go one step further and argue that, even if these conditions are not present, everyone has the right to receive the means to subsist(维持生活), in other words, he can claim this subsistence minimum without having to have any" reason". (47) I would suggest, however, that it should be limited to a definite period of time. let's say two years, so as to avoid the encouraging of an abnormal attitude which refuses any kind of social obligation. This may sound like a fantastic proposal, but so, I think our insurance system would have sounded to people a hundred years ago. The main objection to such a scheme would be that if each person were entitled to receive minimum support, people would not work. (48) This assumption rests on the fallacy of the inherent laziness in human nature ; actually, aside from abnormally lazy people, there would be very few who would not want to earn more than the minimum, and who would prefer to do nothing rather than work. (49)However, the suspicions against a system of guaranteed subsistence minimum are not groundless from the standpoint of those who want to use ownership of capital for the purpose of forcing others to accept the work conditions they offer. If nobody were forced to accept work in order not to starve, work would have to be sufficiently interesting and attractive to induce one to accept it. (50) Freedom of contract is possible only if both parties are free to accept and reject it ; in the present capitalist system this is not the case. But such a system would not only be the beginning of real freedom of contract between employers and employees; its principal advantage would be the improvement of freedom in interpersonal relationships in every sphere of daily life.

问答题With over 10,000 libraries opened worldwide and 7.4 million books already distributed to children in its 10 years, (46)Room to Read—a nonprofit that promotes global literacy— aspires to curb the staggering figure of 759 million illiterate adults living in emerging nations. "If every charity was run with more of a business focus, the world would be a better place,", says John Wood, a former senior executive at Microsoft before founding Room to Read in 2000. "We've created what I consider to be a hybrid organization——the best of charity merged with the best of business." The organization's goal is to raise $30 million in 2010. In 2009, Room to Read raised $28.3 million in cash and stock—well above its $23 million goal and a 28% increase over its 2008 contributions. Technology is key for the company to achieve its goals. The Salesforce.com Foundation has donated Salesforce CRM licenses to help Room to Read build their Global Solutions Database (GSD). (47)The GSD pay close attention to Room to Read's implementation timeline, the number of students and teachers being supported, and the percentage of community contribution. This technology helps the company report figures to its donors. (48)"Technology has been an invaluable tool that's allowed us to reach out to our current investors as well as introduce ourselves to new supporters," explains Wood. "Twitter has opened the door to an entirely new base of supporters for us—now almost 430,000 strong—and we like being able to reach out to them on a real-time basis about our latest news or stories they may find interesting." Room to Read was Twitter's first corporate social innovation sponsor. (49)The not-for-profit also aims to implant effective education programs in the developing world through its School Room program, along with improving literacy equality among the genders. Two-thirds of all illiterate adults are female. Already, over 9,000 female students are enjoying scholarships thanks to the Girls' Education program. Wood says Room to Read's importance has only grown in light of the world's struggling economy: "If there has been an upside to the financial crisis, it's that people are being more careful than ever before about how they invest, and this applies also to their charitable investments," he explains. (50)"I think the markets are efficient, in the sense that a lot of business leaders see in Room to Read an organization that is run like a business and they therefore continue to invest in us."
