Banker to the Poor by Muhammad Yunus

What are you going to do to make the world a better place? What mark are you going to leave? Muhammad Yunus has brought more people out of poverty than any individual I can think of except Bill Gates. He started Grameen bank which lends as little as 8c to people in desperate need.
