Creating a World without Poverty
Social Business and the Future of Capitalism
Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Muhammad Yunus will speak at St. James’s Church, 197 Piccadilly on Saturday, Feb. 16th at 2.30pm.
His latest book Creating a World without Poverty – Social Business and the Future of Capitalism was recently launched in the US and the UK and is already in position 18 of the New York Times bestseller list. After having been invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Bill Gates called for a ‘kinder capitalism’. Yunus’ definition of ‘social business’ uses the creative vibrancy of enterprise to tackle social problems from poverty and pollution to inadequate health care and lack of education. When entrepreneurs pursue social objectives rather than profit, we have a pioneering model for nothing less than a new, more human form of capitalism that bridges between profit motivation and philanthropic investment.
