More than just a casual pass through Bangladesh to investigate Grameen Bank, the micro-credit phenomenon started a quarter century ago by Muhammad Yunus, The Price of a Dream puts a human face on the poor of this impoverished Asian country, formerly known as East Pakistan, where there are tens of millions of families so impoverished that one cannot begin to understand the depth of their deprivation. Bornstein weaves a mesmerizing pattern of the richness of Bangladeshi life amid trying circumstances. How people cope, how they react to successes and disasters, how they work to pull themselves up economically and socially: every thread is pulled through the loom in due course to render a true and clear representation of lives on the ragged edge. Thanks to loans from Grameen, millions of families have been able to hem that edge, one stitch at a time, to finish off their piece of cloth. Micro-credit empowers the unempowered. No one has described that process better than David Bornstein. First Edition Thus (1999), so stated. First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence.
