Creating a world without poverty : social business and the future of capitalism / by Yunus, Muhammad,1940-(CARDINAL)347796; Weber, Karl,1953-(CARDINAL)300198;
Prologue : starting with a handshake -- The promise of social business -- A new kind of business -- Social business : what it is and what it is not -- The Grameen experiment -- The microcredit revolution -- From microcredit to social business -- The battle against poverty : Bangladesh and beyond -- God is in the details -- One cup of yogurt a a time -- A world without poverty -- Broadening the marketplace -- Information technology, globalization, and a transformed world -- Hazards of prosperity -- Putting poverty in museums -- Epilogue: "Poverty is a threat to peace"--the nobel prize lecture.The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize outlines his vision for a new business model that combines the power of free markets with the quest for a more humane world--and he tells the inspiring stories of companies that are doing this work today. In the last two decades, free markets have swept the globe, bringing with them enormous potential for positive change. But traditional capitalism cannot solve problems like inequality and poverty, because it is hampered by a narrow view of human nature in which people are one-dimensional beings concerned only with profit. In fact, human beings have many other drives and passions, including the spiritual, the social, and the altruistic. Welcome to the world of social business, where the creative vision of the entrepreneur is applied to today's most serious problems: feeding the poor, housing the homeless, healing the sick, and protecting the planet.--From publisher description.

No small thing / by Ghent, Natale,1962-(CARDINAL)662983;
In Ontario, Canada, in 1977, twelve-year-old Nat and his sisters find that owning, training, and caring for a pony they acquired for free makes it easier to cope with the poverty they have faced since their father abandoned them. When twelve-year-old Nathaniel and his two sisters discover an ad in the paper for a free pony, they can hardly believe their luck. But what will their mother say? Mom's been having a hard time ever since Dad walked out on them four years ago. But caring for a pony might keep Nat and his older sister, Cid, from bickering, and it would mean so much to eight-year-old Queenie. It takes some serious persuasion-and a promise to use Nat's paper route money for the pony's keep-but Mom finally relents. And so begins a year of self-discovery, as Nat struggles to deal with his father's absence; look out for his younger sister, who is "different"; and recover from having his heart broken by a rich, pretty girl from school. Life is not always easy, but Nat knows that Smokey, his very own pony, will be waiting for him at the end of each day. Or will he?780LAccelerated Reader AR
