School is starting next Monday in Mexico City and moms and kids are out and about with their list trying to finish back-to-school shopping.

This book presents compelling stories of women benefiting from Yunus’s microcredit in rural Bangladesh and urban Chicago, and recounts the experiences of different borrowers in each country, interspersing them with stories of Yunus, his colleagues, and their counterparts in Chicago."
