BUILDING SOCIAL BUSINESS The
New Kind of Capitalism that Serves Humanity's Most Pressing Needs MUHAMMAD YUNUS WITH KARL WEBER
SUMMARY | EXTRAS The Nobel Peace Prize-winner shows how the social business model can harness the entrepreneurial
spirit to address poverty, hunger, and disease
Muhammad Yunus, the practical
visionary who pioneered microcredit and, with his Grameen Bank, won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, has developed a visionary
new dimension for capitalism which he calls "social business." By harnessing the energy of profit-making to the
objective of fulfilling human needs, social business creates self-supporting, viable commercial enterprises that generate
economic growth even as they produce goods and services that make the world a better place.
In
this book, Yunus shows how social business has gone from being a theory to an inspiring practice, adopted by leading corporations,
entrepreneurs, and social activists across Asia, South America, Europe and the US. He demonstrates how social business transforms
lives; offers practical guidance for those who want to create social businesses of their own; explains how public and corporate
policies must adapt to make room for the social business model; and shows why social business holds the potential to redeem
the failed promise of free-market enterprise.
Muhammad Yunus was born
in Chittagong , Bangladesh, educated at Dhaka University, was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study economics at Vanderbilt
University, and became head of the economics department at Chittagong University in 1972. He is the founder and managing director
of Grameen Bank. Yunus and Grameen Bank are winners of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. Karl Weber is a
writer based in Irvington, New York. He co-authored Yunus's best-selling book, Creating a World Without Poverty.

Met dr yunus about 12 times (4 dhaka, 4 usa, 4
europe) including his 69th birtdhay dialogue to speak to starting first week 2008 and launch of first social business book which friends 1234567 and I networked dr yunus and 1000 readers and 10000 dvd users around
Have constructed log (sample) of most seminal meetings of dr yunus since 2005 when he first started to co-brand global social business partnerships in sustainability; in his previous 30 years he had designed 10 times more economical models fdor sustaining market exchanges between poorest
villagers on most life critical service areas : health, food, water, microentrepreneurial education, energy, roof over heads,
safety and financial services. Ultimately nobody in the modern world has system designed so much job creation, and his invitation
to unite the network generation in building poverty mu8seums is the most exciting goal in history. For these sorts of reasons
his maps on how to turn round Wall Streets’ and other global systemsthat are spinning unsustainably
are the most vital knowledge areas that 7 billion beings and leadership could be openly interacting around. imo
Yunus new book in 2010, Building Social Buiness, invites the net generation to make the 2010s the most exciting decade :
we are what goals we decide we must collnoratively
linkin by 2020...
THE TIME TO DO IS NOW MY writes: "What will the world be like 20 years or 10 years
from now? Interesting to speculate but for me the more important question: what do we want the world to be like 20, 10 years
from now? The difference is huge. The first question makes us passive viewers of unfolding events whereas the second question
empowers us to see ourselves as active co-creators of a desired outcome
It is time to take charge of our future
rather than accept it passively. What would world you like to help create? It might include:
a world without a
single person living in poverty
a world whose oceans, lakes, streams and atmosphere is free of pollution
a world where no child goes to sleep hungry
a world where noone dies a premature death from an avoidable
illness
a world were wars are thing of the past
a world where people can travel freely
across borders
a world where no one is illiterate and everyone has easy access to education through the application
of new miracle technology
a world where the riches of global culture are available to all

SofiaB , yunusbookclub and yunus 69th birthday dialogue friends and I have started to brainstorm - what if youth and citizen networks could be surveyed to identify 20 big goals
which if they were achieved through microeconomics (community to community) by 2020 would mean that we had bent the curve
away from global colapse of sustainability, to sustainability rising
We would very much like these to be open
goals that could be tracked and celebrated worldwide but where london and UK would retain some collective ownership of them,
and be the first to celebrate events and perhaps prize givings on each at the london sustainbility olympics 2012. We can imagine
setting up a different welcoming panel of famous or expert to celebrate practitioners in the 20 sustainability games whose
goals we have identified.
If we dont come up with some united proposal on something like this out of the UK, there
is a risk that other European capitals wiill take over plans for the olympijcs which yunus is asking all social business networks
to swarm to as a key moment in time of the 2010s.
some examples might or might not be
1 since
the 2000's the greatest change in ending southern hemisphere poverty - nomination Ingrid Munro - this particular
game/pitch being one relevant to microcreditsummit - still the most extraordinary network I have been able to map - and one
whose summits 2009, 2010 in south america and africa, and 2011 while hosted out of spain is being sponsorewd by queen sofia
who particularly wants to publish best southern hemisphere progress by micro- both the idea of huge golas and famlous
people weklconing grassrioots practioners who do most to find solutions is borrowed frpom microcreditsummit
2
the founding group without whom clean microenergy would be furthest behind nomination - founders of grameen
shakti who have not only won clean energy prizes at ashden awards but whose number also includes the market decvelopment of
http://microenergycredits.com/
3 the person who has done most to change sustainbility curricula of students over 18 including
MBAs
4 the person who has done most to change education's development on children's and teenager's job
creating capacity
if you are interested in piloting this survey through networks or peers you connect,
please tell us. I am aware that choosing goals that save the world from a micro perspective may seem to involve somewhat opposite
framing from prizes set up for macro-professionals and hugely resourced inventors to lead . I think that could be
part of why the survey is worth doing
Game boards for these goals and indeed any goals
that need abpove zero-sum collaborations as the net gen comes of age will be at http://www.isabellawm.com/ and associate webs and for open source use.
Welcome to Joy of 2010s Sustainability's Decade. Each year we suggest special research and actions- provisionally
