Prof. Muhammad Yunus - A World of Three Zeros: The New Economics of Zero Poverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Net Carbon Emissions

Prof. Muhammad Yunus will offer his vision of an emerging new economic system. Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in alleviating poverty. Now he declares it’s time to admit that the capitalist engine is broken – that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, massive unemployment, and environmental destruction. We need a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest. The change will come through the action of people and the emergence of new social business.
