Inspirational Talk by Muhammed Yunus

http://www.citris.berkeley.edu/yunus.html

Dr. Muhammad Yunus is the founder and managing director of Grameen Bank, or as he calls it, a bank for the poor. The insight he had was that small micro-loans, less than $100 each, could bring Bangladeshi families out of poverty in an economically sustainable manner. He also has an amazing program for using mobile phones to help improve information and communications as well. Bill Clinton wasn't kidding when he said that this guy deserves the Nobel Prize in Peace.
