A world of three zeroes : the new economics of zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero carbon emissions / Muhammad Yunus. - 304 pages ; 20 cm
A Nobel Peace Prize-winner outlines his radical economic vision for tackling inequality, joblessness and environmental degredation, and describes the worldwide movement already working to make it a reality. A Nobel Peace Prize-winner outlines his radical economic vision for a better future. Muhammad Yunus is the economist who invented microcredit, founded Grameen Bank, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work towards alleviating poverty. Here, he proposes his vision for a new kind of capitalism, where altruism and generosity are valued as much as profit making, and where individuals not only have the capacity to lift themselves out of poverty, but also to affect real change for the planet and its people. A World of Three Zeroes offers a challenge to young people, business and political leaders, and ordinary citizens everywhere to improve the world for everyone before it's too late.
