Yunus

From espians

October 08 sees the start of Yunus10000dvd - a year long dialogue with [10000 Youth and alumni] networks of Muhammad Yunus. Give me a bell at usa 301 881 1655 - if you might want to participate. This can all be pretty timely as Yunus entrepreneurs practice the other system round from anything Wall Street could imagine, have never lost anyone's money whilst innovating the most vital community services that village people have ever accessed. Some people call Dhaka the open university of [microcredit]; I beg to differ, I beleve its the open university of sustainability investment

Where on the wholeplanet is yunus inspiring people [today]

After winning the Nobel prize, citizens in Japan and elsewhere asked Dr Yunus if he would help empower the most collaborative citizens network for urgent believers in community-up economics. In under 15 months a lot has been planted so that 2008 can be the most connected year for celebrating humanity:

• find out if yours is Forum city of how to begin one
• join in book clubs interacting around Yunus new book - Creating a world without poverty- social business and future of capitalism

• cheer business leaders who adopt Yunus capitalism -eg fellow mandela elder Branson is off on a fast track here and here

In 2007, 24's main experiment linked london to the world; Dr Yunus office sent us a survey in the middle of 24 on how networks could mutually support each other; this was published in 24's world citizen guide

Here are some London-based celebrations of Dr Yunus (more at http://worldentrepreneur.net ) Feb 15 - free public lecture at London School of Economics
