I think microcredit concept in itself is a wonderful scheme. The approach may have some flaws like high interest rate.
On the contrary it can give a better result if it is tweaked to eliminate some burden through P&L system.
This guy probably didn't get his PhD from the Vanderbilt just because he is an imbecile. We should give him some credit instead of putting him under the bus – incessant slaying of his theory.
The problem with Bengali people is we are lazy and love to politicize everything. Look at West Bengal, highly corrupt and backward than lot of other states in India.
"The key to ending extreme poverty is to enable the poorest of the poor to get their foot on the ladder of development . . . the poorest of the poor are stuck beneath it. They lack the minimum amount of capital necessary to get a foothold, and therefore need a boost up to the first rung." Jeffrey Sachs - American economist and director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University

Subject: Re: {PFC-Friends} Re: হিলারির তদবিরে নোবেল পান ইউনূস।--Greetings from Australia,
I used to think that Prof Yunus only deserves credit for micro financing which perhaps is not such a big deal at all. Recently Prof Yunus was visiting Brisbane as the local prestigious Griffith University has added a new department for social business and has named it after Prof Yunus. I had the good fortune to attend Prof Yunus's lecture - Three Zeroes - the hall was packed.His delivery of speech was spontaneous and gentle and His English was of the highest quality. I get embarrassed listening to both our lady leaders speak in English but Prof Yunus - every Bangladeshi had his heart swollen in pride so fine was his delivery, every Muslim was content that someone with the name of Mohammad was delivering such a power speech. Prof Yunus alone improves the image of Bangladesh which our leaders cannot even imagine. Despite direct questioning he spoke in favor of people in power in Bangladesh who try so much to harm him.
He is a very rare global hero whose unthinkable works will forever be etched in the memory of billions of folks worldwide. He says lending money is not charity. This is business: business with a social objective, which is to help people get out of poverty," He says "Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor." Prof Yunus said one way to do that is to help them explore and use their own capability. Human being full of capacity, full of capability, is a wonderful creation." He once said, "In my experience, poor people are the world's greatest entrepreneurs. Every day, they must innovate in order to survive. They remain poor because they do not have the opportunities to turn their creativity into sustainable income." This man has unbelievably redefined poverty, and refuted the capitalist school of thought on poverty. He has given self respect and self esteem back to the poor.
As I mentioned, Griffith University has established " Yunus Centre" for social business. Olympic 2024 has adopted Professor Yunus's three zeros as the Olympic theme. Globally people respect Prof Yunus. We are lucky that he was born in our soil, May Almighty Allah bless Prof Yunus with good health so he can continue to do the good work.
Thank you,
FatimaDr Fatima Ashrafi

We heard such stories before. There may or may not be any truth in it. Bill and Hillary Clintons were great fans of Dr. Yunus' innovative Grameen Bank concept. As such, they became his friends. It is thus possible the Clintons supported Dr. Yunus' Nobel nomination. I believe Nobel is a serious matter and I doubt it is awarded at someone's whims and fancies, even though at times political considerations over weigh some decisions on "Peace" category.
According to some source, Dr. Yunus was a contender for Nobel for sometime in Economics. But the Nobel authorities were finding difficulty, for whatever reasons, to put him that category and kept postponing it. Finally, they decided to award the Nobel to him and his GB in the Peace category in 2006.
However Dr. Yunus received his Nobel, it is a prided for Bangladesh and should be treated as such.

ডেইলি কলার নামের ওই দৈনিকের এক অনুসন্ধানী প্রতিবেদনে অভিযোগ এনে বলা হয়েছে, ইউনূসের নোবেল পুরস্কার প্রাপ্তিতে হিলারি ক্লিনটন গোপনে তদবির করেছিলেন।
