Is the world moving towards an economy that truly serves human needs? At the #WorldGovSummit H.E. Prof. Muhammad Yunus, Chief Advisor of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh shares that it’s possible, but only if we want it. Beyond profit and charity, he introduces a third way: Social Business; a model that solves human problems without profit motives. #WGS25
Do you believe that the world is on a path towards an economy that serves or better serves human needs? I am totally convinced it's possible. It's possible because we wanted, each one of us wanted, if we do business, to make money. That's understood all over the world, maximization of profit. I said you do that and then on the side you have the charity. You give away money. I said there's a third boy this is missing, so I wanted to install the third one. I call it social business. Business. To solve human problems without any intention of making money. If you can give away money, I said why don't you just invest, make it as a business business to solve the problem like healthcare problem. People say will people be interested in them? I said of course they will be interested. And how come I said yes, making money maybe happiness. Making other people happy is a super happiness.
