El precio de un sueño

Synopsis of El precio de un sueño

«El precio de un sueño» is David Bornstein's essay on microcredit and social development, published by Debate in hardback (464 pages, in Spanish).

The book traces the trajectory of the Grameen Bank and Muhammad Yunus from their origins in 1976, when an initial loan of $27 distributed among 42 people laid the foundations of a private bank dedicated to fighting poverty. It explains how small loans, granted preferentially to women, enable economic activities to be launched and improve the lives of marginalized communities, and why this approach is considered an effective alternative to traditional humanitarian aid.

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank frames the report, the result of Bornstein's journalistic research in Bangladesh. Spanish-language edition from the Debate imprint, published in 2006.

For readers interested in social economics, development, and narrative journalism.
