BUILDING SOCIAL BUSINESS The New Kind of Capitalism That Serves Humanity’s Most Pressing Needs

Ray Porter authoritatively narrates the story of how microloans revitalized money-lending practices and female-owned businesses in Bangladesh. Porter also conveys the earnestness of Muhammad Yunus’s journey from small-scale interventions in his village as a community money lender to renown as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. In places, the listener may feel the narration grows slightly plodding, an effect of the repetitive sentence rhythm. But this delivery style may be suited to the complexity of the text, which is a mixture of biographical, economic, and historical data. M.R. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2010]
