Description
'Creating a World Without Poverty' by Muhammad Yunus is about Yunus' vision to create a more just society for all. Yunus presents his ideas for solving the world's social problems as he outlines how Bangladesh can develop more successfully; updates the history of the Grameen Bank, for which most readers will know him from; offers his thoughts on the potential of technology to help end poverty; and details his ideas on international norms and governance.
Muhammad Yunus was born in Chittagong, a seaport of Bangladesh. The third of fourteen children, he was educated at Dhaka University and was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study economics at Vanderbilt University. He then served as chairman of the economics department at Chittagong University 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.' Yunus and Grameen Bank are winners of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.
