评分这本书,从一件蓝毛衣开始,以作者多年从事慈善事业的经历和感悟为主要内容,但书中的一切没有结束,还在继续。 蓝毛衣告诉我们,这个世界里,我们所有人都是互相关联的,你不知道身边擦肩而过的人是否和你通过着某种途径互相关联。因此,在用更广阔的视野去观察时,我们应该...

评分看她的书,是因为TED的一次她的演讲。看着the blue sweater里阐述的她的人生,只觉得自己过的太小太小了。 也曾像小孩子穿高跟鞋似的把她的故事写进自己的梦想里,却仍未能坚持,有她的心,却实在太想回家。

"The Blue Sweater" is the inspiring story of a woman who left a career in international banking to spend her life on a quest to understand global poverty and find powerful new ways of tackling it. It all started back home in Virginia, with the blue sweater, a gift that quickly became her prized possession--until the day she outgrew it and gave it away to Goodwill. Eleven years later in Africa, she spotted a young boy wearing that very sweater, with her name still on the tag inside. That the sweater had made its trek all the way to Rwanda was ample evidence, she thought, of how we are all connected, how our actions--and inaction--touch people every day across the globe, people we may never know or meet.From her first stumbling efforts as a young idealist venturing forth in Africa to the creation of the trailblazing organization she runs today, Novogratz tells gripping stories with unforgettable characters--women dancing in a Nairobi slum, unwed mothers starting a bakery, courageous survivors of the Rwandan genocide, entrepreneurs building services for the poor against impossible odds. She shows, in ways both hilarious and heartbreaking, how traditional charity often fails, but how a new form of philanthropic investing called "patient capital" can help make people self-sufficient and can change millions of lives. More than just an autobiography or a how-to guide to addressing poverty, "The Blue Sweater" is a call to action that challenges us to grant dignity to the poor and to rethink our engagement with the world.
