Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism
Despite his even handed writing style and quite voice, Muhammad Yunus puts forth a bold vision in his book, Creating a World Without Poverty. His boldness is not captured in his statements concerning global inequality and financial imperialism. No, the depth of his boldness is best captured in his belief that the poor themselves are agents of the economy not objects, and that we need to make a place in our capitalist world economy for companies that do not intend to make a profit. In this way, he challenges some core tenants of capitalism as we know it today.
