links between world of economics & Calcutta

The Scottish Social Entrepreneur and founder of The Economist died 1860 (before his time, due to dysentry) in Calcutta at age of 55 while serving as the financial member of the Council of India . One of his last reports is (presumably) this microfiche at the British Library - Wilson, James.
Financial measures for India. Speech of the Right Hon. James Wilson, delivered before the Legislative Council of Calcutta on the 18th Febuary, 1860.

It would seems entirely fitting to anyone who admired Mother Theresa if Calcutta did become an epicentre of health for all. And at www.changemakers.net they run frequent project jams collecting the peoples projects on health from all from every hemisphere. Sponsored by ashoka - the world's foremost network of social entrepreneurs linked toghether by 28 years of tireless work of Bill Drayton and friends, and the teamleader of the whole changemakers project Sushmita (formely president of ashoka, and descrtibed as magical by Bill) works out of
Calcutta

Nice one Sushmita, Nice one Ashoka- let's keep tracking how this gift to the world evolves
