4. Creating a World Without Poverty

By Muhammad Yunus

(PublicAffairs— $26)

Yunus and the Bangladesh-based Grameen Bank that he founded were the winners of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. The bank pioneered microcredit, which provides poor people with small loans to start their own businesses. Now, Yunus is championing a new concept: "social business," or enterprise that goes beyond the profit motive to benefit society. This book explains the concept—and challenges skeptics to imagine a different way of doing business.
