Until I background checked this rather sappy, uncritical article ( by
NPR standards ) I did not even know who this Benevolent Banker was. As I
am a democratic Socialist-giving CRITICAL support to Senator Bernie
Sanders of Vermont-I was immediately cynical about this Muhammad Yunus.
No, he is NOT a criminal but quite a few on the left see his
micro-credit inspiration as a disaster for working class people in his
own country. No socialist will believe that socialism can be obviated by
massive debt slavery.
I don't know if this Nobel Peace Prize winner is even a good man. He seems more like an avuncular charlatan. And a friend of Hillary Clinton. That speaks for itself.
What would Bernie say ? Ask him.

So she took another from a different company, then another, until she was nearly $2,000 in debt. In September she fled her village, leaving her family little choice but to forfeit her tiny plot of land, and her dreams." |
