Muhammad Yunus, "A World Of Three Zeros"

In this closely reasoned and compassionate call-to-action, Yunus argues that capitalism is not the answer to the inequality, unemployment, and environmental damage that are rampant worldwide. He believes it’s time to abandon capitalism and find an alternative economic system, one grounded not in self-interest but in generosity. His book describes his own theories of microcredit, and he documents how these ideas are being put into practice by entrepreneurs who run successful businesses that also alleviate poverty, clean up pollution, and improve health. A true visionary, Yunus is the founder and managing director of Grameen Bank and winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. http://www.politics-prose.com/book/97...
