Wow, it only took them this long to recognize this guy. I believe it was he that P.J. O'Rourke was praising as a poverty solution in a book from the 90s (IIRC, All the Trouble in the World ), as opposed to the failed government schemes, like "Let's depend on and market jute even though the market has shrunk dramatically due to synthetics."

Yes, it was. I'm pleased to see Mr. Yunus being recognized, even if the connection between micro-credit lending and "peace" is a bit drifty :-).
