Muhammad Yunus is one of the modern world’s most trenchant social critics. In A World of Three Zeros, he declare it’s time to admit that the capitalist engine has failed most people – that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, widespread unemployment, and environmental destruction. Instead, we need a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest.
Here, Yunus describes the ingenious new financial tools now funding social businesses and sketches the legal and regulatory changes needed to jump-start the next wave of socially driven innovations.
