Summary of Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism

In "Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism," Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus invites us into the evolving realm of social business, a visionary model that promises economic justice by pairing entrepreneurial spirit with the urgent social mission of alleviating poverty. Published on January 8, 2008, this compelling narrative underscores the limitations of traditional capitalism—which often overlooks social issues like inequality—and proposes a transformative approach that harnesses human creativity for the greater good. Through inspiring examples, including Yunus's pioneering work with the Grameen Bank, the book showcases practical applications of social businesses in addressing critical needs such as nutrition, housing, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. Ideal for college students studying social entrepreneurship, economics, or anyone interested in the intersections of innovation and social change, this book not only chronicles a movement but also invites readers to be a part of a world where economic structures empower every individual.
