Banker to the Poor


 Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle against Poverty by Muhammad Yunus

My rating (out of 5 stars):

4 stars—I really liked it.

Goodreads.com Description:

“…Banker to the Poor is Muhammad Yunus's memoir of how he decided to change his life in order to help the world's poor. In it he traces the intellectual and spiritual journey that led him to fundamentally rethink the economic relationship between rich and poor, and the challenges he and his colleagues faced in founding Grameen. He also provides wise, hopeful guidance for anyone who would like to join him in "putting homelessness and destitution in a museum so that one day our children will visit it and ask how we could have allowed such a terrible thing to go on for so long." The definitive history of micro-credit direct from the man that conceived of it, Banker to the Poor is necessary and inspirational reading for anyone interested in economics, public policy, philanthropy, social history, and business…”



My Thoughts:

I enjoyed this book and learned from it. This is a recommend for those interested in social economics.

If only more people cared like this! His words were motivational to my personal development.
