In "A World of Three Zeros: The New Economics of Zero Poverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Net Carbon Emissions," Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus challenges the foundations of the current economic system, which he argues perpetuates inequality, unemployment, and environmental degradation. Published on September 26, 2017, this visionary book proposes a radical realignment of capitalism, emphasizing altruism and sustainability as powerful catalysts for change. Yunus, renowned for pioneering microcredit and social business, shares compelling case studies from around the globe— from solar projects in Bangladesh to social businesses supporting female entrepreneurs in the U.S. He outlines how corporations like McCain and Renault are integrating social goals into their business models and highlights innovative financial instruments supporting these new ventures. Ideal for adult education, this book not only critiques our economic realities but also illustrates a hopeful road map towards a system that values human welfare and the planet equally, inviting readers to be part of this transformative movement.
