Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-14 00:00:00 William Benintend If there were more people like Muhammad Yunus, then maybe his goal of stamping out poverty by 2050 will be achieved ' hell, maybe he'll be able to get Bangladesh there all on his own at the rate that he's going. In "Creating A World Without Poverty,", Yunus talks about social businesses and the future of capitalism. In this book, he talks about how, as Grameen Bank became more and more deeply rooted in the social conditions of the poor in Bangladesh, its mandate evolved and broadened as Yunus and his colleagues branched out from microcredit to social businesses. This book was also partly the story of Grameen Danone came into being ' Danone, the French food products company, partnered with Grameen to produce affordable, nutritious yogurt for malnourished children in Bangladesh. It's a fascinating case study in social business. Also interesting: the epilogue includes a transcript of the lecture Yunus delivered in Oslo when he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Grameen Bank in 2006. Definitely worth reading.
