DESCRIPTION

The inspirational story of how Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus invented
microcredit, founded the Grameen Bank, and transformed the fortunes of millions
of poor people around the world.

Muhammad Yunus was a professor of economics in Bangladesh, who realized that the
most impoverished members of his community were systematically neglected by the
banking system — no one would loan them any money. Yunus conceived of a new form
of banking — microcredit — that would offer very small loans to the poorest
people without collateral, and teach them how to manage and use their loans to
create successful small businesses. He founded Grameen Bank based on the belief
that credit is a basic human right, not the privilege of a fortunate few, and it
now provides $24 billion of micro-loans to more than nine million families.
Ninety-seven percent of its clients are women, and repayment rates are over 90
percent. Outside of Bangladesh, micro-lending programs inspired by Grameen have
blossomed, and serve hundreds of millions of people around the world.

The definitive history of micro-credit direct from the man that conceived of it,
Banker to the Poor is the moving story of someone who dreamed of changing the
world — and did.

PRAISE

 * "By giving poor people the power to help themselves, Dr. Yunus has offered
   them something far more valuable than a plate of food - security in its most
   fundamental form."
   President Jimmy Carter
 * "[Yunus's] ideas have already had a great impact on the Third World, and ...
   hearing his appeal for a 'poverty-free world' from the source itself can be
   as stirring as that all-American myth of bootstrap success."
   Washington Post
 * "I only wish every nation shared Dr. Yunus's and the Grameen Bank's
   appreciation of the vital role that women play in the economic, social, and
   political life of our societies."
   Hillary Clinton
 * "Muhammad Yunus is a practical visionary who has improved the lives of
   millions of people in his native Bangladesh and elsewhere in the world.
   Banker to the Poor [is] well-reasoned yet passionate."
   Los Angeles Times
 * "A fascinating and compelling account by someone who decided to make a
   difference, and did."
