Muhammad Yunus in Conversation with Jeffrey Sachs

Fri, 22 May 2009 07:25:30 -0400

How can the power of the free market be used to solve the problems of poverty, hunger and inequality? Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus pioneered Microcredit, the innovative banking program that provides poor people—mainly women—with small loans to launch businesses and lift their families out of poverty. In his new book, Creating a World Without Poverty, he describes a new way to use business to tackle social problems from poverty and pollution to inadequate health care and lack of education. Yunus served as chairman of the economics department at Chittagong Univeristy before devoting his life to providing financial and social services to the poorest of the poor. He is the founder and managing director of Grameen Bank and the author of the bestselling Banker to the Poor.
