Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/01/17/Muha... Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of The Grameen Bank, explains his "social business" model, a plan for addressing social issues through entrepreneurship. This program was recorded in joint collaboration with the Commonwealth Club of California and Link TV. ---- Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of The Grameen Bank, speaks about his new book Creating a World Without Poverty. Muhammad Yunus is founder and managing director of the Grameen Bank, established in Bangladesh in 1983. Dr. Yunus founded the bank with the objective of helping poor people escape from poverty by providing loans on terms suitable to them and by teaching them a few sound principles of finances so they can help themselves. The Grameen Bank has advanced to the forefront of a burgeoning world movement toward eradicating poverty through micro-lending and its model has been replicated in over 100 countries worldwide. In 2006, Dr. Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Bank.

overpopulation is the cause of pollution and now we feed the poor in order to make them recruitable for the corporate. It looks like we grow our children to serve the corporate which at the end pollute and consume all the resources of the Earth.A profit maximisation can be reach also by feeding and maintaining healthy the majority poor uneducated but potential cheap labour for the corporate, isn't it?...this is total paradox.

@bogsider16 Why are the rich still trying to "maximize profits" when they could spend all that money on such projects? Your real world, which you seem to love so much sucks as hell my friend.
