Professor Muhammad Yunus’ Nobel prize-winning quest to help the working poor invest in themselves has changed the lives of 7.5 million Bangladeshi borrowers and their families. But why stop at so-called developing nations? While the global financial crisis marginalises the poorest worldwide, Grameen Bank America opens for business in Queens, New York... This logic-defying story follows the journey of two ethnic minority women with access to responsible lending for the first time, and the potential for personal and social renewal it awakens.
