Thanks, Phil.

I think I should have said 'include' a social enterprise rather than 'be'.

I think trading, whether in the formal economy or off-grid in forms like timebanking, is important. And yes, that does pose issues about transparency, but I think we need a social economy as well as a social ecology. Checks and balances are important though and it's a fine line to tread.
