The Story of the Grameen Bank and the Idea
that is Helping the Poor Change Their Lives
by David Bornstein - DNB111@AOL.COM
Written as a story, The Price of a Dream traces the history of the Grameen
Bank from Muhammad Yunus's early experiments in 1976 to the present day --
when it has become a network with 1,050 branch offices in 35,000 villages,
reaching more than 2 million villagers. The book is full of many colorful
interviews with villagers and members of the Grameen Bank management and
staff, including Muhammad Yunus. The Price of a Dream looks at how the
Grameen Bank developed as an institution, solving its own problems, and how
it handled repayment problems, natural disasters, all the while preserving
itself as an institution with a high level of integrity and commitment.
