Description

Creating a World Without Poverty tells the stories of some of the earliest examples of social businesses, including Yunus’s own Grameen Bank. It reveals the next phase in a hopeful economic and social revolution that is already under way – and in the worldwide effort to eliminate poverty by unleashing the productive energy of every human being.
In the last two decades, free markets have swept the globe, bringing with them enormous potential for positive change. But traditional capitalism cannot solve problems like inequality and poverty, because it is hampered by a narrow view of human nature in which people are one-dimensional beings concerned only with profit. In fact, human beings have many other drives and passions, including the spiritual, the social, and the altruistic. Welcome to the world of social business, where the creative vision of the entrepreneur is applied to today’s most serious problems: feeding the poor, housing the homeless, healing the sick, and protecting the planet.
