personally, i’ve written a movie series, so i might one day makes an assload of money and start a “social business”.
we all must ry tand do our part.
;d
VEry nice effort.s… Good Luck with mr. Muhammad Younas…
overpopulation is the cause of pollution and now we feed the poor in order to make them recruitable for the corporate. It looks like we grow our children to serve the corporate which at the end pollute and consume all the resources of the Earth.A profit maximisation can be reach also by feeding and maintaining healthy the majority poor uneducated but potential cheap labour for the corporate, isn’t it?…this is total paradox.
@bogsider16
Why are the rich still trying to “maximize profits” when they could spend all that money on such projects? Your real world, which you seem to love so much sucks as hell my friend.
@MrsUpde3
It can definitely work, but people (especially the rich) are too greedy.
Excellent ideas, if everyone thought like Mr. Yunus the world would become a Paradise without poverty and wars.
Truly amazing. If only it could work that way!

The most useful question ever, is
What is the underlying law of nature?
Be among the first to identify, understand and apply its answer. Why?
1. It is the way of all things. (observable)
2. It is the basis and absolute reference frame of the principles of thought, intelligence, communication and logic.
3. It made possible the formulation of these four principles.
4. Conscious use of these principles permit efficacy and efficiency to multiply in business.
Google it, as a start.
@qix2112 What makes Yunus’s theories different from socialism is that Yunus’s theories are an improvement on private enterprise. I do not like to call anything socialism unless it focuses on creating state-run monopolies.
If he can get it to work then all the more power to him. I’m saying we should focus on finding a way to make money out of making poor people less poor. If there is a buck to be made this way you get what decades of pleading for alms hasn’t, less poverty.
@omegavalerius That may be true, but the socialistic aspect is what makes Yunis’ ideas work. If we can get some aspects of socialism involved with the capitalistic U.S., than the U.S. can take advantages for their poorer class citizens, much like the porrer nations are now.
god bless this man !!!!! puuuure genius

I believe in the moral mnagement of money.
Dr Yunus is a genius in a way that he could find a way to make this very simple idea work efficiently in a very large scale first in his own Bangladeshi society then in other countries.
you are a great man Doctor
deep respect
If we are to make progress we must make the connection between the underlying law of nature and the subject of Yunus’ talk.
pure genius
Muhammad Yunus idea of micro credits first given to Bangladeshi women and later on to the entire third world is nowadays well picked up by profit maximizing western banks, BECAUSE it is profitable for them. Try to get in literature of or about Muhammad Yunus and you will easily see that it is no dream world he has dedicated his life for. This is best practice for a solid basis of a peaceful co-existence of mankind.
I am sorry, but I cannot agree with you. Yunus received together with his Grameen Bank the Nobel Peace Price. So a mix of profitable and non profitable ventures really does have a bright future due to the economic instability in many poor countries. Furthermore, there is also something called love for your fellow people, maybe we should all think about that.
