Book JacketCREATING A WORLD WITHOUT POVERTY
Social Business and the Future of Capitalism
MUHAMMAD YUNUS
SUMMARY  |  EXCERPT
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 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.

Creating a World Without Poverty tells the stories of some of the earliest examples of social businesses, including Yunus's own Grameen Bank.

ONE GIGANTIC GAME OF NETWORK SNAP- who wants to play snap with fans of yunus and his microcredit revolutions?

What is Yunus Microcredit? Microcredit has been called banking for the poor -transparency systemised so social and economic needs compound whole truth's upward exponential.

Its been through several versions over 30 years -note how trust-flows integrating ever higher  communal levels of sistainability at each major decision Yunus leads 

1.0 When Dr Yunus lent a few dolars of his own money to the most productive people anyone had ever seen. These village ladies worked so hard that they repaid daily credit to laon sharks at rates that most people get charged annually.

 2.0 When Dr Yunus started a bank in each Bangladesh village he could reach so as to invest in wome whose lifetime's work sustained the village's development. By now each bank helped women get peer to peer training on how to be most entrepreneurial; all profits made by the bank got reinvested in that village; loans got repaid by village entrepreneurs at world record breaking percentage of over 98% and this included writing off any loans where creditors died before their time.

 3.0 Upgrading what jobs a female vilage entrpreneur could acccess - when Graneen started the typical loan was made to buy a cow; today the most popular loan is to become the vilages mobile telegram hub (read all about this in the digital connections literature subtitled "you can hear me now". Before we proceed, do you have any questions - for example on the peoples of microcredit world - they're welcome at info@owrldcitizen.tv

The hundreds of empowerment models weaved by Muhammad Yunus and Grameen grassroots members and his citizen forums worldwide are the best news for humanity that I have come across in my life. They are also the most inspiring womens lib movement to map. Every female microentrepreneur is a heroine the world celebrates as they empower sustainability -by integration of every local community into a globalisation worthy of humanity.
Aditionally, here are some of the women who have helped Yunus do the most weaving of sustainability investments sans frontieres:


Susan Davis
(Grameen Foundation) introduced this generations greatest entrepreneurs (from the East) to those in the West

Milla Sunde (TheGreenChildren)- co-created the only worldwide pop group that heroises grassroots peoples and "you can hear me know" - bridging the digital divides.
Lamiya Morshed who coordinates Grameen projects all across the world of sustainability investment.

Grameen Bank for the Poor, Muhammad Yunus - Nominators 1 video (1 in 100 languages) -NB case illustrated is Pre-Feb 007 Grameen. We commend onet as a post-Feb conversation space, and welcome other suggestions of communities and world citizen networks wishing to debate future of Grameen

*K1 Microcredit as led by Grameen offers the greatest service work there is for those who love to plant seeds so that communities develop sustainably connecting 100 million families taken out of poverty since 1999

 *V1 Sustaining the development of a community out of poverty is the greatest vocation and empowering professional wish 

*K2 Internal branches of Grameen Bank are guided by 5 star ratings for the community's local team to aspire to; external supporters of Grameen can action interface in one of 16 ways (you don't have to be a banker to participate with the 2000 who network annually at microcreditsummit but you do need to bring one of 16 skill sets to the interaction) 

*V2  Empower us women as the greatest net of undiscovered micro entrepreneurs

*K3 Probably the world's simplest trust-flow credit model - this can only be replicated by intrapreneurial leadership teams who empower  instead of boss from the top down. 10 years ago: Who would have thought that the banking sector would be nurtured to demonstrate with the most intrapreneurial franchise on the planet?

 *V3 Banking for the poor as the most value multiplying sustainability investment sector

*K4 Grameen offers to partner almost any global sector on its own hi-trust value multiplication terms; bring your deepest competence to Bangladesh, let us implement it strategically, you get goodwill's multiplying gains, we will take the risk that sustaining the deepest purpose your sector can offer in Bangladesh will not make a lost. Where global partners don't want to play, Grameen now cherry picks emerging sectors - eg mobiles by investing in the sector at the right time to lead it, return the surplus to the poor. As the country's favourite brand, there are very few new service sectors that would want to compete head for head with Grameen.

 *V4 eg Grameen Danone - fast food health foods supplementing dietary gaps of Bangladeshi's- note how K4*V4 proofs the concept that the social business entrepreneurial stockmarket game is ready for go.

*K5 Supporters clubs are set to emerge in every city; not only does Grameen have one of the top global village summit network meetings of the year; but it has its own pop group and videos for replaying in 100 languages. As a global academy partner of the supreme grassroots up social entrepreneur association ashoka, local societies can be guided to the potential  synergy of the 2 most empowering micro entrepreneurial networks in existence: microcredit grameen dialogues and ashoka mosaics 

 *V5 Hi-trust Collaboration and transparent empowerment from grassroots women up can put poverty in a museum by the millennial goal deadlines

 


Once an economist, sustainability investor, world citizen or public servant including public broadcasting has proof-checked that Grameen can multiply value around a 10-win system of productivity and demanding relationships, it seems natural to ask: does any other global market sector truly compound value multiplication in ways that would reassure John von Neumann and Albert Einstein regarding urgent advocacy of above zero-sum economics paradigms -as necessary to sustain all our children's worlds. The next column on the irght will begin this search which Yunus also refers to as mapping out a social business entreprise stockmarket.

Now that collaborators around Yunus have proved that well over 100 million families were trapped in poverty while the global market sector of banking excluded banks serving the poor, it seems that there will never be a better time to revisit every global market sector's true desire to flow goodwill to all - including those in the news for compounding of loss of human sustainability and those that are not.  For example, what good are global pharma corps if they dont want to invent vacinations that replace costly treatments they are selling? We are emboldened as worldwide citizens activating this search. 2007 is the 100th year of Gandhi's whole truth search which maps 7 vital spheres of human productivity and demands. Ones that history shows were used by enslaving empires and conversely which peoplepower must entrepreneurially reconcile for community sustainability everywhere. Why in this 21st C are we still blocking youth in so many places from the joy to be free to make the maximum productivities and differences of lifetimes?

Extract from the fortcoming book on the missing information citizens need to collaborate around sustainability world's most trusted projects and people

COLLABORATION ENTREPRENEURS

Mapping 100 Hi-Trust People whose Cross-Cultural Alumni Nets Will Change World

  

This book asks readers to help fill a gap in worldwide knowledge. There are plenty of global and national surveys on the world’s richest people. And every sport and fashion has its own league tables which elevate their stars into worldwide consciousness. However, there are few or no surveys on the world’s most trusted people defined in terms of how deeply and broadly they inspire other people to act in ways that are best for the world, and human sustainability.

 

Whither Above Zero-Sum and Sustainability Economics

The worldwide attention disorder to mapping hi-trust human beings is peculiar, not to say economically dismal. It is their goodwill networks which exponentially compound the most communal value over time, weave cultures' magic colours and empower sustainability of each community rising. Our goal is to make this discovery –and innovation truth curiosity - clear as you journey through the book. The logic mapped is the same as the entrepreneurial system foundation on which my father and my 1984 book on how globalisation can economically sustain better worlds for everyone was founded. http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html In other words, our mapping of collaboration entrepreneurs has 24 years of searching practices linked around it as well as abundant case studies on how true value multiplying trust-flow systems can be.

 

Naturally, there are more nuances to map than just: who are the 100 most trusted? First, collaborative people love to support each other, so we will see many connections between the heroines and heroes in this guide.  Moreover, people on a truly collaborative mission to improve the human lot are delighted if someone comes along and offers to open source with them an even simpler communal innovation. So this book is not just about identifying individuals. Our whole truth wish is to search to catalogue and understand the healthy rivers of trust-flow world – the arenas of human endeavour that can sustain humanity if we cross-culturally attended to vital challenges of life as much as the late 20th Century did to sports or pop idols

 

5 Year Future History of the World

My 84 year old dad is the economics world’s greatest future history writer. http://futurehistorian.tv  But when it comes to fueling future histories, as Bill Gates has also observed, there is a vicious 5 year itch and responsibility sickness. This arises because the exponential curves that mathematically govern human relation system maps ensure much more transforms for good or ill in 7 years than people expect , much less in three. Consequently, people at the top who review systemic future histories are liable to moderate double-blinding controversies that sidetrack better future practice. Our 1984 book on the future of the net was mocked for mapping why the Soviet Union would crumble within 5 years. For the only time in its history the tabloid Paris Match carried a front page economics story – Demain Sera Rose – with a lot of Gallic teasing on had The Economist turned from capitalist red to humanitarian pink. Conversely, Death of Distance projections for deep innovation webs desperately seeking to integrate local to global networks 7 or more years out were:  

 ticked by decision-makers as eminently doable; Boxed away as not their job to start up; so lost as responsibility futures of the world of business and of society.

  

Nonetheless,  collaboration entrepreneurship, as a way of viewing the world, has become an ever greater passion and networking exploration of the authors and their peers over the years since 1984...

...On the one but last page of this book, we summarise hi-trust contexts where everything is most likely to lead to revolutionary new trust-flow agents in 5 years time. For example, with Sir Nick Stern’s challenge:  "find wholly new ways to invest 1% of national wealth in energy" 1-year old at time of writing, it would be infantile to expect that we could already have found that context's highest trust people. Similarly the former president of India has launched in summer 2007 a Lead India campaign challenging youth to tear up every educational curricula that is not sustainable. Simultaneously, Britain’s Gordon Brown has July 2007 at the United Nations issued a citizens empowerment speech http://peoplepower.jp  the like of which a mass mediated world has seldom dared listen to. And in cheerleading sociaql business entreprise stock markets, Dr Yunus is going city to city inviting 1000 collaboration entrepreneurs to take back whole truth’s community-developing practice of impossible becomes possible if right action, right place, right time, right people. This is music to the ears of Gandhian networks celebrating in 2007 the centenary of Satyagraha- the systems mapping of leadership that Einstein rated as evidently top for indexing sustainability investment.

How to explore collaboration in "best for world" way that peoples everywhere can share

ENTREPRENEURIAL MAPPING OF SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT

The word entrepreneur was coined in 1800 to ensure that society was never excluded from the map of productivities and demands. After all a local community serves up natural resources, people learning, good health and all sorts of other human, natural and goodwill energies without which no organisation could start up in a place. So how could it be that any organisation would intentionally exclude what social good it does to societies it impacts - how could it be that man could design organsiations that have cost nature so much that we now have an invest 1% to save 20% exponentials crisis which is upping both antes at exponentail rates the more we lurk?

Checklist of how a map is being stewarded:

-contextual detail matters and must over-rule any profession's attempt to rule with a global standard

-truth flows must not be blocked either within the map's sub-departments or across boundaries from one organisation to another
Some sectors whose behaviours since the invention of the spreadsheet require urgent attention by soicety: all ruling professions - none appear to have wanted to revisit the rules which they monopolise even theough it is clear that prefer machines to people and boundaries that are the greatest risk when networks connect much media: often demographic government profiteer by licensing a new mediaor simply gain by by giving the people a tax break which helps re-elect the party in charge. Nonethess giving media away to commerce is giving away the commons and history shows that over time untruth conseqeun ces of horrific cost has often compounded from this error life critical utilities such as water and clean energy - here the problem is that standard accountinmg's models are worst maths possible whereve they fail to integrate how future costs will compound or make a utility tresponsible to every human being's right to at least minimal access of life empowering services

-there must be a future joy of detecting any emerging conflicts and resolving them - this is actually how all innovation should be modelled even though very few academics in the 20th century have wholly mapped innovation this way- over quarter a century ago, one of the 20th cnetury's greatest faciliators of organsiational transfromation Harrison Owen provided a way for meetings where the right people come at the right time ... and at a dinner qith senoir management acdemics, the response was Harion if you are correct 95% of what we teach about management is incorrect. In parallel intraperenurship and other compoents of The Economiost trilogy of Entrepreneurial Revolution provide all the evidence we need that Harrison Owen's Open Space technology is the simplest method any child should experience first in getting to understand why community, commons, cross-cultural joy and other deeply human conseqeunces compound with serving the golden rule that so far sustained our species: relationship reciprocity.

The exponential curves that determine your life.

Nature regards expoential curves as the most natural in her systems world. The same is known in common parlance when people talk about experience's learning curves. The same patterning accelerates wherever we  network or biodiversity webs.

 For some unaccountable reason global accountants and others who use spreadsheets seldom analyse what future expoentials are compounding even  though in year 2000 the risks of not doing so were laid out to be absolutely critical in a report chaired by Margaret Blair called Unseen Wealth. Goodwill is the major value multiplier in human  relations economies -ie all ones where people develop or internetwork value multipliers in ways that the manufactiring age's machines cannot. Denying thjis is the biggest mathematical mistake ever made and it is where the roots of all human sustainability crises can be mapped back.

Why do so many of 100 biggest global market sectors fail to value future of human sustainability in their leading cases?

Home Truths. Don't just assume a charity is 10-win. Roundtable audit its transparency.

Back in 1989, I was writing a book on the world's biggest brands -which I had spent the 1980s researching. I has having a fierce conversation with some "do evil" valuation measures which accountants were newly programming into spreadsheet valuation of brands. Their argument was brands live in a world of promises and perceptions and that is the only effectiveness they need to be measured by. I countered that the only global brands I'd ever want to a child of mine surrounded by would as powerful human/communal relations systems would need to double loop trust by attending all te time to organsiational maps for seeing trust-flow, not just budgeting lost of money for image-making. Nearly 20 years on, I have seen more and more global sectors slip from innovating progess for humanity to externalising their greatest risks onto whatever cosumers, societies or employees know least. However I confess I hadn't fully reflected on whether this might apply to the worlds biggest charitable powers until being challenged to audit whether Grameen is 10-win. From every data stream that has been networked into me,  Grameen truly is all-win. But as I mapped this I realised how many extraordinary innovations Yunus and his teams have made over 30 years to stay conflict free. This made me wonder : how about other globally well known charities. I am sorry to say that being subject to the same unseen wealth auditing and boundaries (always a terribly risky locus in a networked) age, few global charities can be found that are compounding global good- certainly very few of those who don't ask how might  wea ccidentaly be infected by conflicts that once in the system compound ever more loss of trust-flow.

What London says as Nobel reunites Maps of Peace & Economics:

Blessed are economists

(Filed: 14/10/2006)


 Comment on this story      Read comments

Muhammad Yunus is no diplomat or politician; he is simply an economist. Yet as the Nobel Peace Prize committee recognised yesterday, he has done more to help the world than virtually anyone alive today.

Mr Yunus's insight was simple, and is worth quoting: "Charity is not the answer to poverty. It only helps poverty to continue." He realised that, even if the vast amount of Western aid reached its intended targets, it would merely create dependency and suppress initiative. His solution was to start at the bottom – to offer small loans, at commercial rates of interest, to those in his native Bangladesh with no collateral and no credit rating. It was, in essence, a gamble on the goodwill and industry of humanity.

That faith, we are pleased to report, has been amply vindicated. Mr Yunus's creation, the Grameen Bank, has handed out more than $5.7 billion since 1983, with repayment rates consistently in the 90 to 100 per cent range. It has helped more than six million people, 97 per cent of them women, become part of the global economy; it has inspired similar groups, in more than 40 countries, to offer loans to more than 90 million people. By trusting the people of the developing world, rather than dictating to them, Mr Yunus created the most effective way to reduce poverty.

Yunus Nobel Speeches

extract:

Yunus is the first Nobel winner from Bangladesh, an impoverished South Asian country on the Bay of Bengal. Nobel Committee chairman Ole Danbolt Mjoes said the award was partially intended as an outstretched hand to the Islamic world in an era when Muslims are often demonized because of terrorism.

"The peace prize to Yunus and Grameen Bank is also support for the Muslim country of Bangladesh, and for the Muslim environments in the world that are working for dialogue and collaboration," he said.

    BRING BACK FREE GLOBAL MARKETS FOR VITAL OPEN SOURCE SOLUTION MAPS
    Yunus says what value multiplying competence has man if he invents a better for the world invention but then cant work out how to market it freely wherever it could most save lives. He is using his goodwill as most trusted and collaborative brand in better for the world to connect every other sustainability solution in no-cost global market awareness. Recent examples:
    He’s wants to pilot Taddy Blecher’s free university model but with Bangladeshi Women
    He’s extending the ten times lower cost models that Prahalad has found to Bangladesh – eg Aravind’s eye care model
    His pop group is helping issue invitations that thousands of young at heart networkers in every city can bring their most 10-win ideas to a joint meeting and see who wants to collaborate with who – a city by city celebration of what 10-win models can we identify and multiply

    YOU CAN HEAR ME NOW: Yunus partnerships are already the greatest at bridging digital divides. As revolutionary as banking that wants its creditors to sustian the most productive investemnts in their own flows is using the mobile phone to be a disconnected vilages first telegram office. Think how that maximises value of a mobile in exactly oposite way that attention deficited (non-flowing) city slickers minise value of being connected. His partner in you can hear me now now leads MIT's development entrepreneur school; and as american uni's go MIT is the most open source on the planet. eg the same facutly do the $100 dollar laptop and 1000 person wikin collabortaing on how to connect whole nations of 5-10 year olds through that.
    1.3 GOODWILL= DO NO EVIL INTERFACE-BOOKS - unlike global accountants books in every way its possible for maths to design
    (In all the above Yunus is asking show me your map so that we can check it has no sustainability conflicts as my alumni show you all our maps to exponentialise sustainability up for every community)

    The Economist 1984 Forecast: key network economic quest for entrepreneurial truth to 2012  http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html#Anchor-Changin-27687- will network architects of hi-trust human relationship systems find above zero-sum ways to integrate localities globally? Yunus invitations are openly connecting all empowerment economists – prahalad, stern, manmohan singh etc – he’s on almost every better for the world panel that might want to listen to such sustainability investment and above zero-sum analysis methods ( at clinton, at skoll, at microcreditsummit, at The Economist, at cities with the largest sustainability citizen movements rising, at virtual markets inspired by him such as http://www.kiva.org .... search more). Tecnical note for maths/systems truth people : see above zero-sum game theory as in dad's boigraphy of von neuman
    1.5 Youthful India and Bangladesh are leading the quest for youth to rip up non-sustainability curricula. This is appropriate in celebrating 100 years of Gandhi's Sataygraha Truth-Mapping valued by Einstein as the number 1 leadership modle of all times because it relentlessly demanded 10 times lower cost medi*education*professional transpranecy http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/403200708161020.htm -see expoential up timeline of satyagra (whole truth governace) at http://peacecentury.tv
