Andy Kuper is the founder of LeapFrog, the world's first mcroinsurance fund, hailed by former President Bill Clinton as "The Insurer to the Poor." In this talk Andy presents the case for "enlightened capitalism" and shows that social good and profit are not necessarily inconsistent notions.

About TEDx, x = independently organised event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
