Nobel Peace Prize 2006 winner Dr. Yunus
As he has just collected his Nobel Peace Prize, I thought it appropriate to post this tribute to Dr Yunus, the man who reversed the need to be solvent in order to borrow.
A bank manager many years ago told me that what he did was, "Give people umbrellas as long as it is not raining. If it rains, I want the umbrella back!"
Yunus reversed that cynical logic. As he collected his award he said, "We must address the root causes of terrorism to end it for all time."
"I believe putting resources into improving the lives of poor people is a better strategy than spending it on guns."
He is a deserving winner of such a prize.
