It is like saying there was everything wrong with non-violence. It had never
worked in the past - but Gandhi had the foresight to see that in the modern
world of communications and mass media - non violence has become a potent force
of social revolutions. All previous revolutions had been violent (incl French ,
English,American and Russian revolutions).
Micro-credit is like Venture capital -- a concept yet alien to Indian
business but thriving in US etc -- it needs a change in psyche.
Perhaps Nobel prize givers were fools -- they should have given one to Laloo
Yadav - who eats up the fodder meant for cows - no money to give - no head ache
. No debate.
Gandhi was no Univ professor or intellectual (as someone had pointed out) but
achieved lot more than hundred of intellectuals -despite his seemingly
impractical idea of non violence .

I knew something was wrong with microcredit. Now, Abhijut Banerjee deserves
the kudos!
Perhaps one can get away with microcredit; it is not the solution to world
poverty. We need entrepreners of the type Abhijit recommends
