hey deaduck.. its great what you wrote and you have cleared the ideas of noble prize winner Muhammad Yunus. I am sorry but to be honest, me, the owner of 'ajobpublic' didn't write anything to you or in this post. As much as Muhammad Yunus done for us, i donnt have anything against him, and dont have any supervisor who is doing PHD in economics. plus i am not the type of person who would be bothered about this things although i wouldnt mind knowing.

continuation...So when a person comes about and helps with very little effort its a shock for the others and a knee jerk reaction for some is to criticize. Thus Shawn said that most of his critiques were usually from Bangladesh itself or countries similar to Bangladesh like India and Pakistan. Does that make sense? That maybe a factor in people juding Dr. Yunus a bit too harshly...just a thought!

Fourth: [This came from discussions with Shawn Ahmed who started TheUnculturedProject.] People in parts of the country where there is a lot of suffering learn to ignore what's going on around them so that they can gor through their day to day life. As a rich Bangladeshi you know that the 70 year old pulling your rikshaw's breaking his back doing it, but you learn not to hesitate giving him Tk 7 (10c USD) after a 15 min trip. continued...

Third: People win the Nobel prize for peace because of changes they bring about in society. Some people do it by bringing about independence through a revolution, some by taking steps in ending conflicts and in this case by creating a system that helps people help themselves. Pure charity on his part would be less deserving, I'd say. But what he did was create a system, that has been employed in other parts of the world because it DOES WORK.

Second: The 20% is steep I know but they ARE 'high risk' lenders and the bigger the risk the higher the interest needs to be to add more security to the overall project. But you need to understand that he's not aiming to help people who need money. But he's aiming to help people who have the ability to help themselves and the only thing holding them back is the initial loan they need to get started. Listen carefully to the example he gave about the loan many are ALREADY taking from loan sharks.

I've heard similar arguments before. You need to understand a few things. First off: Grameen Bank is NOT a charity organization. There are share holders and they look for profit. The striking thing about this though is that the share holders are the lenders to the bank themselves and so the poor people. So what its doing is allowing poor people to band together under this label of a 'lending bank' and helps them get started and make money.
