资源的匮乏不但是穷人自身的困境,也在时刻敲打整个社会的神经。大名鼎鼎的世界银行把消除贫困视为自己的头号使命,并和许多国际组织及政府一起已经为此奋斗了数十载。但就在它们频频遇挫之际,在那个经常被洪水、风暴和疾病肆虐的贫穷而拥挤的孟加拉国,却诞生了一个奇迹。尤努斯教授走出了象牙塔,他的乡村银行(格莱珉的原意)带给了穷人新的出路。 The lack of resources is not only the plight of the poor themselves, but also beating the nerves of society as a whole. The famous World Bank regards poverty eradication as its number one mission and has worked with many international organizations and governments for decades.

Professor Yunus stepped out of the ivory tower and his village bank, Grameen’s intent, gave the poor new ways.
