Creating a World Without Poverty

Creating a World Without Poverty by Muhammad Yunus presents a bold and inspiring vision for ending poverty through social business and inclusive economic models. Written by the Nobel Peace Prize–winning founder of Grameen Bank, Creating a World Without Poverty challenges the traditional belief that profit must come before people.

In Creating a World Without Poverty, Muhammad Yunus introduces the concept of social business enterprises designed to solve social problems without maximizing profits for shareholders. Drawing on real-world examples from microfinance, healthcare, education, and sustainable development, the book shows how business innovation can empower the poor and create lasting change.

The book explains how access to credit, entrepreneurship, and dignity can transform lives and communities. Creating a World Without Poverty highlights successful partnerships between global corporations and social businesses, proving that ethical capitalism can work at scale. Yunus also addresses common misconceptions about poverty, arguing that it is not created by the poor, but by systems that exclude them.

Clear, practical, and deeply hopeful, Creating a World Without Poverty is essential reading for policymakers, entrepreneurs, students, and anyone interested in social impact. It offers a realistic roadmap for building an economy that serves humanity where poverty is not inevitable, but solvable.
