Eradicate Poverty, Unemployment, and Climate Change: A World of Three Zeros by Muhammad Yunus

In his groundbreaking book, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, the architect of microcredit and social business, proposes a radical vision for a new economic system. A World of Three Zeros argues that the current model of capitalism is fundamentally flawed, leading to widening inequality, mass unemployment, and environmental devastation.

Yunus proposes a revolutionary solution: an economic system driven by altruism, where profit serves a social purpose. This isn't utopia - it's already happening. Thousands of individuals and organizations worldwide are embracing Yunus' vision, launching innovative social businesses that prioritize human needs over wealth accumulation.

Imagine bringing solar power to millions in Bangladesh, empowering unemployed youth through entrepreneurship, or financing female-owned businesses across the US. These are just a few examples of the transformative power of social businesses. A World of Three Zeros showcases these real-world success stories, detailing how social businesses are:

Delivering clean energy to underserved communities

Equipping young people with the tools to become successful entrepreneurs
Providing crucial support systems like housing and transportation to those in need
Fostering a global network for aspiring social entrepreneurs

This book goes beyond inspiration. Yunus outlines the practical steps needed to bring about this economic transformation. He explores the involvement of major corporations like McCain and Renault in the social business movement, along with innovative financial instruments fueling these ventures. Crucially, Yunus lays out the necessary legal and regulatory changes to accelerate the adoption of social businesses.
