See for example this thread first.

This year's econ Nobel prize thank
Mohammed Yunus (Grameen Banks)
which makes Third-World loans
and doesn't make bones
'bout collateral, unlike us Yanks!


TOPICS: Business/Economy; History; Society; The Poetry Branch
KEYWORDS: greywhiskers; limerick; nobel; vanity
I read about Grameen Bank in P.J. O'Rourke years ago.

Seems like a class organization, helping third-world women to economic self-sufficiency.

Not the same as full industrialization, but not like France in its African colonies, either...

Cheers!
