Definately not what I thought it would be. This is a real story, not so much about micro-lending, but about how one person changed the world with micro lending. Yunus thought outside the box and did great things. Very thought provoking. Excellent book!

Inspiring account of the Nobel peace prize winning economist who has helped thousands of people in many nations by establishing a bank. He is incredible and is a testament that anything is possible.
