 | Muhammad Yunus: Problem solving above profit-making
"People ask what was the crucial factor in developing the bank and the answer is that I know nothing about banking and if I did I would have followed their rules," said Muhammad Yunus, speaking at a special session of the Continuous Education Program held on IESE's Barcelona campus in the presence of Queen Sofia of Spain and Crown Prince Felipe. Yunus, who with his Grameen Bank in Bangladesh more or less invented the concept of micro-credits and micro-finance, added: "I did the opposite of conventional wisdom and it worked. Conventional banks go for the richest, we go for the poorest. The poorest are our starting point, the person who has nothing." | | Read more |
