Reviews

"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, "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, "A fascinating and compelling account by someone who decided to make a difference, and did."-- CHOICE

Banker to the Poor
Muhammad Yunus, a visionary from Bangladesh was interviewed on television after he won the Nobel Peace Prize. I immediately bought his book to find out how this economics professor relentlessly sought a solution to help starving people help themselves. Yunus along with others he recruited founded the Grameen Bank which makes miniscule loans to the poor. What a difference one person can make. It all started when he loaned a group of stool makers $27 to cover the cost of materials so that they could sell their craft without paying money lenders horrific fees. It is a fascinating read which I would have enjoyed more if the material had been condensed alittle.Muhammad Yunus, a visionary from Bangladesh was interviewed on television after he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Great introduction to microfinance
This book is an excellent explanation of microfinance, especially for someone who isn't well versed in the subject yet. Since it's written by the originator of the concept of microfinance, it provides a nice narrative of how microfinance developed and how it has evolved & adapted throughout the years. It is also surprisingly easy to read (for such a typically dry subject), and Yunus's personal narrative makes the book flow quite well. It's doesn't delve deeply into criticisms of microfinance - he only briefly mentions some of the battles & criticisms he's faced - so other reading might be necessary if you want a complete & more detailed understanding of microfinance.This book is an excellent explanation of microfinance, especially for someone who isn't well versed in the subject yet.

Banker to the Poor
This is a bit of a biography in that it takes you through how Yunus first became interested in and started with microfinance all the way through his first 25 years of experience. It is an incredible story of one man's ability to make an impact and his perseverence and commitment to helping the poorest of the poor. I found it inspiring and a good read. My wife is now reading it as well!
