Why have free markets failed so many people? How could the power of free markets be harnessed to solve social problems of poverty, hunger and inequality? The solution, according to Dr. Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank, is recognizing the fact that human beings may not solely be concerned with the pursuit of maximum profit.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Yunus will speak about “Social Business: Business to make a difference,” at the Missouri State University Spring Public Affairs Convocation Lecture at 7 p.m. March 2 at Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts.
