Poverty that now overwhelms billions of human
beings in the present day world has virtually been turned into
a commodity. It is being traded for profiteering by a section
of the traders, the micro creditors. The issue, poverty, much
discussed in the realm of political economy, has been capitalized
by the micro creditors and has manifested in the pronouncements
of Yunus, the so-called banker to the poor. But, behind the
charade goes on the old story of deception. The book, a collection
of articles free from jargons and logic-structure incomprehensible
for the common readers, exposes the trade by Yunus, the so-called
crusader against poverty.
