Yunus calls the current economic crisis "good" and "exciting" because it gives us an opportunity to create a "new normalcy." He says we should redesign the whole financial system so it is inclusive for all people. We should also create new types of business to change the world - social businesses. Through this, he believes, we can create a world without poverty, hunger and disease.
Microcredit pioneer: Economic crisis is good
Last week at The George Washington University, microcredit pioneer Dr. Muhammad Yunus spoke about the financial crisis and creating a new normalcy that benefits the poor. I just came across this YouTube clip from the World Economic Forum at Davos. Here Dr. Yusus echoes many of the same ideas.
