BANKER TO THE POOR Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty MUHAMMAD YUNUS

"The Grameen Bank's record is illuminating and inspiring. More than 92 percent of its borrowers are women, commonly heads of families. They maintain an admirable rate of repayment -97 percent. This is an aid program that works."
The New York Times

"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

"[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."
The Washington Post
