>EBAR PICK

"Building Social Business - The New Kind of Capitalism That Serves
Humanity's Most Pressing Needs" by Muhammed Yunus, hardcover, 226
pages, c. 2010, $25.95.

[Perseus Publishing] Muhammad Yunus, the practical visionary who
pioneered microcredit and, with his Grameen Bank, won the 2006 Nobel
Peace Prize, has developed a visionary new dimension for capitalism
which he calls "social business." By harnessing the energy of
profit-making to the objective of fulfilling human needs, social
business creates self-supporting, viable commercial enterprises that
generate economic growth even as they produce goods and services that
make the world a better place.

In this book, Yunus shows how social business has gone from being a
theory to an inspiring practice, adopted by leading corporations,
entrepreneurs, and social activists across Asia, South America, Europe
and the US. He demonstrates how social business transforms lives;
offers practical guidance for those who want to create social
businesses of their own; explains how public and corporate policies
must adapt to make room for the social business model; and shows why
social business holds the potential to redeem the failed promise of
free-market enterprise.
