Muhammad Yunus, the Bangladeshi economist, microfinance pioneer, founder of the grassroots Grameen Bank and Nobel Peace prize laureate tirelessly travels the world with one message: We are all entrepreneurs. We have talents that we can use to generate income. Recently, Yunus has begun taking his message to the rich world. “Globally, the issues are the same,” he says. “In terms of poverty, of welfare recipients, of housing problems, water problems, in terms of healthcare problems. These are common problems, rich country or poor country.”
