Banker to the Poor Follow-up

Well, I said that I would provide a review of Muhammad Yunus' book on the start of the Grameen Bank, so here it is:

Banker to Poor is an inspirational story of the start of a revolutionary way to help the poor raise themselves out of the stranglehood of poverty. The book is surely worth a read; I finished it in two days. There is some technical jargon, but it's not overwhelming. The book easily could have been twice its size, since Yunnus often glosses over wide expanses of time or processes that surely took a lot of time and effort, probably to hold the reader's interest. He had mine! I wish that he would have delved a bit deeper, but overall, it's a great read.

Financista Rating: $$$$ out of $$$$$
