About this listen

Over the last few decades, free markets have swept the globe and brought positive change. Nevertheless, traditional capitalism cannot solve problems of inequality and poverty because of its view of people as one-dimensional beings concerned only with profit. In fact, human beings have many other drives and passions, including spiritual, social, and 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 businesses, including Yunus' own Grameen Bank. It reveals the next phase in an economic and social revolution that is already underway and in the worldwide effort to eliminate poverty by unleashing the productive energy of every human being.

Critic Reviews

“The influential economist and winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize outlines his vision for a new business model that combines the power of free markets with the quest for a more humane world.”

(Bookseller (UK))

“Muhammad Yunus argues convincingly that social business is an achievable way of exploiting capitalism to help the poor. Yunus moves the debate beyond the tired argument that the rich should simply donate to those less privileged, and demonstrates that the free market can in fact be used to the advantage of the less well off...This book is a must-read for policymakers or philanthropists, and its conversational style and straightforward logic also make it appealing to the layperson.”

(Scotland on Sunday)

“In this excellent work of popular economics, he tells the story of how he came to the idea and the impressive results it has generated.”

(Winnipeg Free Press)

“Infused with entrepreneurial spirit and the excitement of a worthy challenge, this book is the opposite of pessimistic recitals of intractable poverty's horrors.”

(Publishers Weekly)

The work done by Prof Yonus is incredible. Estaishing that economically poor are rich in ethics is no small thing. This books is good summary of his work. Though the pronunciation is considerably better comparing to other European/Americans narrators but I feel the books written for South Asian countries should be narreted by narrators of this area to pronunciation local words appropriately.

Excellent work and excellent book

Dr. Mohammad Yunus has unleashed a vastly hidden treasure by starting off the grameen family in Bangladesh and at the same time penned this beautiful book. It's worth reading/listening every word/minute of this book. Crisp and clear, easy to understand language and equally good the voice over by Patrick. Kudos. Pacing and structure of the book are perfect to keep the listener glued. I could relate to the topic much easily being from India, however it sure will be mostly enjoyed and appreciated by non-asians as well.

An amazing story beautifully narrated
