Review:
''Creating a World Without Poverty by Muhammad Yunus is a visionary and inspiring book that challenges the very foundations of capitalism. Yunus, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning founder of Grameen Bank and pioneer of microcredit, goes beyond his earlier work to introduce the concept of social business—a new way to use the creative vibrancy of business to tackle social problems such as poverty, pollution, inadequate health care, and lack of education. Yunus argues that social business marries the interests of corporations with economic development in a way that has never been tried before. He describes his collaborations with some of the world's most visionary business leaders, including Danone, to produce affordable, nutritious yogurt for malnourished children in Bangladesh and to build eyecare hospitals that save thousands from blindness. Fortune magazine praised the book as 'calling for capitalism's enlightenment.' This book offers a pioneering model for a more humane form of capitalism and is essential reading for anyone interested in economics, social justice, and the future of business.''
