Episode 2: Technology of Freedom
The second program turns to the work of "compassionate capitalists," who have created self-sustaining businesses to maximize human benefit, not profit. These include Martin Fisher and Nick Moon, the founders of ApproTEC, who invented an economical water pump that gives Africa's subsistence farmers a chance to make a living, and Fabio Rosa, a modern Brazilian cowboy who battles government monopolies to bring electricity to remote regions in his country. In this program the series also returns to India to meet Govindapa Vin Kataswami — better known as Dr. V — who, working with social entrepreneur David Green, has applied the latest industrial techniques to make sight-saving surgery available for the poor. "Our goal was not to see how much money we could earn and have a big comfortable house and a big car," says Dr. V. "The goal was to see how many people we could help. The more money we earn the more people we could help."
