Over 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."Creating a World Without Poverty" tells the stories of some
of the earliest examples of social business, including Yunus'' 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.
