Wednesday January 28 | Micro Loans

January 27, 2009 at 10:05 am | In Coming Up | 2 Comments

Join us for a conversation about Micro Loans and Lending, and how this form of financing has helped people who normally wouldn’t be able to attain a traditional bank loan achieve their goals. We’ll meet the president of an organization who grants these loans in Third-World countries as well as in the U.S.

  1. I am reading Dr. Yunus’s great book, “Creating a world without poverty”, and an working on finding a workable connection between Microfinance, Social Business, Social Media and the Green Economy. I also think that the Grameen Bank and the Bank of America should create a synergistic relationship. I honestly think it would be as manna to both banks.

    Any possibility of such a collaboration between banks?

    All the best,
    David Beckwith

  2. Hi,

    I read a book in college in the 1980’s called “Small is Beautiful” by Ernst Shumacher…I think he was the pioneer in the micro business.

    Did he contribute to your project?

    Thanks.
