Rediscovering Muhammad Yunus: How the founder of the Grameen Bank lost his glow after the glitter
In a tight, thorough investigation, Rediscovering Muhammad Yunus takes a look at its eponymous figure and institution, detailing how Yunus came to found the Grameen Bank, win the Nobel Prize, and eventually find himself plagued by controversy. Author Mohammad Jabbar details the contending version of events, thoughtfully drawing out the fallacies of Yunus's positions to reveal a much more complex, opaque story of what led to his departure from the bank-and the questions that have dogged him and his brainchild since.
Whether or not they are familiar with Yunus's story, this book is sure to interest those looking to enrich their understanding of development and economics-particularly as they relate to micro-finance and Bangladesh. It will make an excellent addition to the bookshelves of anyone interested in the shady underside of philanthropy, capitalist solutions to poverty, and the "development" of the so-called developing world.
