Book: Banker to the poor, The autobiography of Muhammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank, Muhammad Yunus with Alan Jolis

A very interesting read and take on how to eradicate poverty. On this MAD journey that I am on, this book was highly recommended and I understand why. It was first published in 1998; there have been many changes with the boom of technology, sadly not too much in terms of finding a solution to poverty. 

I particularly like what Yunus says about charity, "Charity is no solution to poverty. Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor. Charity allows us to go ahead with our own lives without worrying about those of other people. Our conscience is adequately appeased by charity. The real issue is creating a level playing field for everybody, giving every human being a fair and equal chance."

The only place where poverty should be seen in the future is in museums.
