A World of Three Zeros

The New Economics of Zero Poverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Net Carbon Emissions

By: Muhammad Yunus

Narrated by: Dan Woren

From Nobel Prize winner and bestselling author of Banker to the Poor, a vision of an emerging new economic system that can save humankind and the planet

Muhammad Yunus is one of the modern world’s most trenchant social critics. In A World of Three Zeros, he declare it’s time to admit that the capitalist engine has failed most people – that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, widespread unemployment, and environmental destruction. Instead, we need a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest.

Here, Yunus describes the ingenious new financial tools now funding social businesses and sketches the legal and regulatory changes needed to jump-start the next wave of socially driven innovations.

Critic reviews

"A book to make Wall Street quake."—Kirkus Reviews

"With wealth disparity an ongoing global concern, Yunus's inspiring and hopeful message is a must-read for all readers with even a semblance of economic literacy."—Library Journal, starred

good ideas, a little egotistical

It did bug me that Yunus presented his solutions as cure-alls. However, he convinced me that his ideas could make a big difference in the world once he got to social business funds.

Un livre important pour changer le monde

Ce livre se classe aisément dans mon top 10 pour la qualité des enseignements, la richesse des exemples et la possibilité de les transposer dans ma communauté.

J’ai écouté le livre souvent munie de la version papier, ce qui me permettra de revenir aux importantes informations et de rallier les gens autour de certains projets.

Nobel Winner's Personality Cheapens His Greatness

Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize because he is doing great things for the world. But he names things after himself. Everything he describes seems small. He comes across as combative and complaining. That's very sad, as he is doing great things. This book should be as great as his works, but it isn't.

Very Important Read

Mr. Yunus has a plan and has been working that plan for over 30 years. He has been outrageously successful. This book blew the top off my head. It opened my eyes & mind and has inspired me to action.

wonderful

This book brings hope to billions of impoverished people around the world. It is a beacon calling out to the future of a world to come.
