Congratulations to economist Muhammad Yunus, who received the Nobel Peace Prize for his creation of the Grameen Bank. I read about this project years ago while working as an economics editor and was impressed with it then. The Grameen Bank has helped thousands of poor people, especially women, earn a living and, with it, independence. I've not always agreed with past choices for the Nobel Peace Prize, but Yunus certainly receives my endorsement.
