Video about Dr. Muhammad Yunus who started the Grameen Bank in India. Video talks about the methods used by Yunus and his bank in Bangledesh, and in other parts of the world.

Grameen was one of the corporate entities that we read about in class. Instead of using its capital gains to feed the upper managements' pockets, they redristribute the funds back into the peoples' coffers. This is a REAL, CREATIVE solution to a poverty problem.

  Compare this question to Diamond's question. Here the question is, "why are some able to constrain the options of others" whereas Diamond's question was more like, "why are some so rich and others so poor." Just by rephrasing the question, Wolf is calling into question 2 things Diamond never considers: Power and Relationships with others.

It is very interesting to see how GE has benefitted from the US's war on terror. 90 percent of GE's nuclear power plants could discharge radiation into the atmosphere. It is responsible for polluting 78 Superfund sites, and is pushing the government to overturn Superfund legislation. Fraud and poor safety for workers are also issues. Why don't we see this on the ecomagination commercials?

Oil (and other minerals) are affecting the economic situation of African countries. Companies are getting rich, but the people are poor. Poverty is undoubtedly a cause fore the lack of healthcare access in Africa. Some solutions are offered in this article to put some of the money made from the oil back into the hands of the people that live there.

  Poverty is a continous cycle because much of the money that is spent on exports sustains the ecomony of another country rather than the country who buys the goods. Having less imports and more exports creates a system of maintaining dependency and poverty or industrialized product-exporting/commodity-importing country is wealthy and an underdeveloped product-importing/ commodity-exporting country is poor. There is also shocking evidence of those individuals who work for the World Bank. This would definetly be good shocker for those that "Earn More" and "Eat Less".
