Muhammad Yunus
The only place where poverty should be is in museums.
Muhammad Yunus
Money commands everything because that's our interpretation of capitalism ... what kind of world is that? It's a very uncomfortable interpretation of a human being. We have been turned into robots.
Muhammad Yunus

Muhammad Yunus
