"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.
如果说记忆是一颗种子,我想,那这本书就是让小麦得以自由生长的土坯。 杰奎琳是成功的创业者,她所推广的女性在社会地位中应当享有的经济地位。 多年前读的在爱中行走。德兰修女当之无愧为诺贝尔和平奖的获得者,那么杰奎琳也至少在经济和女权应该有所奖。 整本书记录了20多年...

评分今年国父诞辰假期周末我花了好几天躺在海滩上晒太阳,读《蓝毛衣》(The Blue Sweater)。这是一本极好的书,由聪明人基金(Acumen Fund)创建人杰奎琳·诺佛格拉兹(Jacqueline Novogratz )女士撰写。 杰奎琳的整个职业生涯都致力于将慈善事业和金融市场连接起来,她的故事...
评分這書說的是作者在第三世界貧窮國家.所推動的援助計畫及其背景故事....作者是非營利機構創投執行長.年輕時放棄華爾街高薪工作.投入慈善援助工作.顯然地.她確是具有理想且充滿幹勁的人....但本書在廣告扉頁所稱:故事比"三杯茶"更感人.這我是無法同意的.....而我是看到這句廣告詞...
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。
