I enjoyed reading the article. It is very direct and well written. Micro finance is not
such a new thing as it is made out to be. ‘the Small is beautiful’ by Schumacher and before that
gandhi suggested the same. Yunus’s greatness is in taking it to the people.We all know how
‘impossible’ it is.but he made it possible and in the interview he makes it look so simple.
Only a great soul with the heart in the right place can do so. I hope more and more young people
will follow his path.

I wonder whether Grameen America will end up SHAMING the banks…

and I wonder whether people will stumble over the 15% interest or marvel at the CREDIT WITHOUT COLLATERAL principle!

And why does the journalist write about Mr. rather than Dr. Yunus???

Still: such a long article in such an important paper and basically she got it! Let’s hope that more and more people will get ‘it’: the social business idea!
