Global Politician - The Making Of Muhammad Yunus
The making of Muhammad Yunus
Grameen Bank (GB) was founded by Muhammad Yunus, a Fulbright scholar with a flair of a Citoyen (comrade). He was a classical economics student at Vanderbilt University, who had been schooled in the tradition of Adam Smith and Karl Marx. He was also a gifted writer who became a revolutionary journalist during the Bangladesh Liberation War.
He was a recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize and a US Presidential Medal of Freedom, and was the darling of Neoliberalism (USA) and socialism (Venezuela). Nonetheless, he has attracted the most worldwide attention by providing poor people with microcredit. However, in order to understand the impact he has made on history, it is important to know something about the circumstances that made him. Only through an investigation of his social, cultural, and economic development will we be able to understand the nature of his work and the dimensions of his concept.
