-Nobel Prize winner from Bangladesh
-Micro finance and Grameen banks
-during a famine he saw a skeleton like person and this made him think of the ineffectiveness of economics which he was teaching at the university.
-he went to a village and interacted with a woman.He found that the lady buys bamboo for 5rs,makes stools and returns them to the money lender for 5.50 rs.
-It was the lack of credit which was the reason for their trobles
-Initially he gave $27 to suphia begum and said that she could return it at whatever time she feels comfortable.This was something new and the villagers accepted it readily
-This was an individual act and he felt the need to instituionalise this system.Thus the GRAMEEN BANKS were born.”
“Excellent book, excellent plan to battle world poverty, interesting world view. I also heard Dr. Yunus speak at George Washington University this year (2009). Highly recommend.”
