Definately not what I thought it would be. This is a real story, not so much about micro-lending, but about how one person changed the world with micro lending. Yunus thought outside the box and did great things. Very thought provoking. Excellent book!

Inspiring account of the Nobel peace prize winning economist who has helped thousands of people in many nations by establishing a bank. He is incredible and is a testament that anything is possible.

Loved this book, which is surprisingly easy to read. Muhammad Yunus (my new hero) is both fascinating and inspiring. His clearheaded analysis of the situation in Bangladesh has led him to divise the microeconomics for which he won the Nobel Prize. Don't miss reading this!
