I am not surprised to see yunus call for an entrepreneurial revolution at WB since my father's 1984 book written after 5 decades at The Economist timelined exactly such a system change to economics with 2008 the deadline if the world was going to escape major sustainability meltdowns http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html I am a bit surprised that for 3 years in row now our survey of world's most trusted person has ranked Yunus clearly number 1 - not personally surprised that is but staggered by Washington's apparent disinterest in such findings chris macrae 301 881 1655

Nobel laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus has asked for major reforms in the World Bank saying the multilateral development bank has not been successful in achieving its main goal of poverty alleviation.

"The world has gone through so many changes over the last few decades, but the World Bank remains static since its establishment about 60 years ago. It needs reforms and there should be a rethink of its policies," Yunus told reporters after a meeting with visiting WB President Robert Zoellick at his Grameen Bank's Headquarters in Mirpur yesterday.
