In the past, there were two ways of doing business: for-profit and not-for-profit. That is, until Muhammad Yunus came and introduced a fusion of the two: a social business.
The Hebrew term for this is עסק חברתי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/עסק-חברתי-#.m4a” /], where עסק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/עסק-חברתי-#.m4a” /] means business and חברתי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/עסק-חברתי-#.m4a” /] means social, deriving from the word חבר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/עסק-חברתי-#.m4a” /] meaning friend.
Here’s the term in context:
