www.weforum.org Adidas shoes for less than one euro? Muhammad Yunus re-imagined our social future and helped make it happen. Yunus argues that too many businesses are focused exclusively on financial profits. For a new world to emerge, Yunus believes we need a new structure: creating social businesses to solve social problems.

Its focus is solving social problems, such as providing employment or addressing health and educational issues. Yunus concludes that there is no invisible hand; it is up to us to re-imagine and create the social structure we need.
