Critics Review
‘Muhammad Yunus was just trying to help a village, but somehow managed to change the world.’
– Former President Barack Obama‘Muhammad Yunus has shown himself to be a leader who has managed to translate visions into practical action for the benefit of millions of people, not only in Bangladesh, but also in many other countries.’
– Norwegian Nobel Committee‘With wealth disparity an ongoing global concern, Yunus’s inspiring and hopeful message is a must-read for all readers with even a semblance of economic literacy.’
– Library Journal, starred review‘A book to make Wall Street quake — if Wall Street paid attention to the developing world … The author’s humane proposal for economic reform, far from impractical, makes for provocative reading for development specialists.’
* Kirkus Reviews *‘The book has a lotto like and Yunus’s faith in the entrepreneurial spirit is uplifting. His focus is on communities in developing countries but with lessons for everyone, and a wealth of ideas.’
* In The Black *Muhammad Yunus
