Interview with Muhammad Yunus

I can't possibly recommend this Denton interview with Muhammad Yunus (the dude who invented microcredit and won the 2006 Nobel Peace) highly enough. If you watch nothing else this year, just watch this:) I can guarantee you wont find a better use of 40 minutes..... except maybe cartwheels with Rhinos. Heck yes!

Micro-credits
From one of the world's poorest countries, comes a man with one of the world's richest imaginations, so limitless, that, for him, the idea of consigning poverty to history doesn't seem far-fetched. In Bangladesh, 35 years ago, during a terrible famine, he had a simple idea: lend money to the poorest of the poor then watch as they transform their lives. He founded the world's first "micro-credit" bank - the Grameen Bank, and, in 2006, won the Nobel Peace Prize. He has, literally, changed the world; Muhammad Yunus.
