The open source movement
launched over the past few decades by computer programmers has morphed into a
parallel "open innovation" movement. The emergence of cross-sectoral
"distributed intelligence" points to the promise of broader and more inclusive
networks as the brightest future for the kind of innovation that will be
necessary to address our most urgent challenges.

What if you could harness the power of the free market to solve the problem of poverty?
“By giving poor people the power to help themselves, Dr. Yunus has offered them something far more valuable than a plate of food—security in its most fundamental form.” —Former President Jimmy Carter
Grameen Foundation board member and Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus outlines his vision for a new business model that combines the power of free markets with the quest for a more humane world—and tells the inspiring stories of companies that are doing this work today
In Creating a World Without Poverty, Yunus goes beyond microcredit to pioneer the idea of social business—a completely new way to use the creative vibrancy of business to tackle social problems from poverty and pollution to inadequate health care and lack of education.
