As my husband is a banker and has been for almost twenty years I heard about this book and thought this is something we really should read.
Banker To The Poor is a true story about Muhammad Yunus, a man who set up an amazing banking system in Bangladesh. Lending tiny sums of money to the poor, to the people ordinary banks wouldn't even speak to so that they could set themselves up with small enterprises therefore helping them find a way out of the slums of poverty and into a decent life that all human beings deserve.
There isn't much more I can say about this book, the name speaks for itself, it is a true story and a remarkable one at that.
