World of Three Zeroes

The capitalist system, in its current form, is broken. Here, a Nobel Peace Prize-winner outlines his radical economic vision for fixing it.



Eight individuals now own more wealth than 50 per cent of the global population, and high unemployment in many countries means that people’s skills, knowledge, and creativity are being wasted. Rampant environmental destruction only adds to this picture of a bleak future in which humankind will no longer be able to sustain itself.



But what if there is another way?



Muhammad Yunus is the economist who invented microcredit, founded Grameen Bank, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work towards alleviating poverty. Here, he sets forth his vision to establish a new kind of capitalism, where altruism and generosity are valued as much as profit making, and where individuals not only have the capacity to lift themselves out of poverty, but also to affect real change for the planet and its people.



A World of Three Zeroes offers a challenge to young people, business and political leaders, and ordinary citizens everywhere to embrace a new form of capitalism, and improve the world for everyone before it’s too late.

Sistemul capitalist, in forma sa actuala, este rupt. Aici, un castigator al Premiului Nobel pentru Pace isi prezinta viziunea economica radicala pentru a o remedia. Opt persoane detin acum mai multa bogatie decat 50% din populatia globala, iar somajul ridicat in multe tari inseamna ca abilitatile, cunostintele si creativitatea oamenilor sunt irosite. .
