What if you could harness the power of the free market to solve the problems of
poverty, hunger, and inequality? To some, it sounds impossible. But Nobel Peace
Prize winner Muhammad Yunus is doing exactly that. BONSAI PEOPLE celebrates
Yunus' extraordinary humanitarian work, which started by lending $27 to 42 people out
of his own pocket and has now grown to helping 1 out of every 1,000 people on Earth.
Yunus has created a mirror image of conventional banking—loan small not big, loan
to women not men, loan rural not urban, loan to the poor not the rich. But he
didn't stop there. Whenever he sees a problem he starts a business, in a mix between
business and social work, which he terms “social business.” Yunus tackles some of the
world's most vexing problems from healthcare to education to alternative energy and
demonstrates to the world that complex problems sometimes do have simple solutions.

A free market with a social conscience—
Microcredit is just the tip of the iceberg!
