But I think his new business model does not work He devised it as a way of avoiding some of the negatives of capitalism and endless growth. But it does not cover the risk of loss in the startup phase. Only big corporations can use the model. It furthers concentration and uncontrolled growth. It will tend to become a scam by which the powerful greenwash their power.
Yunus is back in the public eye with a concept he calls social business. This form of capitalism, he believes, can make progress against poverty in ways that governments and traditional charities have not done. He lays out the concept in his new book, Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism. It's an inspiring volume, full of practical information for people who are motivated to try out his ideas.
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize outlines his vision for a new business model that combines the power of free markets with the quest for a more humane world--and he tells the inspiring stories of companies that are doing this work today. In the last two decades, free markets have swept the globe, bringing with them enormous potential for positive change. But traditional capitalism cannot solve problems like inequality and poverty, because it is hampered by a narrow view of human nature in which people are one-dimensional beings concerned only with profit. In fact, human beings have many other drives and passions, including the spiritual, the social, and the altruistic. Welcome to the world of social business, where the creative vision of the entrepreneur is applied to today's most serious problems: feeding the poor, housing the homeless, healing the sick, and protecting the planet.--From publisher description.

> Aux éditions Lattès : Le Banquier des pauvres de Muhammad Yunus. Reconnaître le micro-crédit comme un droit fondamental, tel est le projet de la Grameen Bank fondée au Bangladesh par Yunus. Le projet a été étendu à quarante-trois pays et l’on considère désormais cette méthode comme une arme décisive dans le combat contre la pauvreté.
