Banker To The Poor by Muhammad Yunus
Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty
A first-hand account of creating a grassroots banking experiment that lends tiny, collateral-free loans to the very poor—mostly women—showing how small amounts of credit, combined with group accountability and local trust, can spur entrepreneurship, lift families out of poverty, and achieve remarkable repayment rates; the narrative traces early experiments, practical lessons, institutional challenges, and the wider social and policy implications of treating banking as a tool for human development rather than profit maximization.
