Most of his customers - as they still are - were illiterate women, wanting to set up the smallest imaginable village enterprises. It was his conviction that this new system of 'micro-credit', lending even such small sums, would give such people the spark of initiative needed to pull themselves out of poverty. Today, Yunus's system of micro-credit is practised around the world in some 60 countries, including the US, Canada and France. His Grameen Bank is now a billion-pound business. It is acknowledged by world leaders and by the World Bank to be a fundamental weapon in the fight against poverty. Banker to the Poor is Yunus's enthralling story of how he did it: how the terrible famine in Bangladesh in 1974 focused his ideas on the need to enable its victims to grow more food; how he overcame the sceptics in many governments and among traditional economic thinking; and how he saw his micro-credit extended even outside the Third World into credit unions in the West. Such is the importance of his book that HRH the Prince of Wales has contributed a Foreword in which he hails 'a remarkable man [who] spoke the greatest good sense'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForfattere:\u003c\/strong\u003e Muhammad Yunus, Alan Jolis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUtgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e ukjent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engelsk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSidetall:\u003c\/strong\u003e 313\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781854109248\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVekt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 565 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForlag:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInnbinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUtgitt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVeil. pris:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 kr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKategori:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bankers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bokia.no","offers":[{"title":"Pent brukt bok","offer_id":42523162345554,"sku":"157352-4","price":140.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2064\/2115\/files\/banker_to_the_poor_157352.jpg?v=1784930197","url":"https:\/\/bokia.no\/products\/banker-to-the-poor-9781854109248","provider":"Bokia.no","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
