When a crisis is at its deepest, it can offer a huge opportunity. When things fall apart, we can redesign, recast, rebuild.

Introduction
Are you an entrepreneur who desires to help the world and make it a better place?
Many people might say that you should start a non-profit or NGO.
But what if you didn't want to run on donations?
What if you wanted to have a business that was profitable on its own while helping those in need?
The answer is a social business, which aims to help solve social, environmental, or economic problems all while being self-sustaining.
Professor of economics Muhammad Yunus founded the extremely successful Grameen Bank in Bangladesh that gives small loans to the poor.
In his book, Building Social Business: The New Kind of Capitalism That Serves Humanity's Most Pressing Needs, Yunus guides us on how we too can run a business that gives back to the community.
He shares his new vision for capitalism that will change the world by benefiting everyone - instead of just himself.
