Links at official Yunus Webs GSB YC
This Centre has a Social Business Professor Cam Donaldson (as far as we know 2nd only in creation to that at HEC Paris). The Chair's foci are healthcare and wellbeing
When Dr Yunus first spoke at Glasgow Caledonian Fall 2008 he explained what Adam Smith actualy said and why the frameworks that Adam Smith designed (eg free mearkets) were communally integrated to sustain the world -ie on the side of the microeconomist. So every time a global market implodes (eg wall street's) , compare how macroeconomics let markets get manipulate - an opposite system to the transparency of design and hi-trust flows that adam actually wrote up. The vice chancellor greeted Dr Yunus talk with - we woll do everything we can to find out what laws need to be changed before Glasgow can sustain a microcredit geeared round those in the city who are now in families that have been unemployed for 3 generations. Magnus Magnusson;'s daughter , a BBC Scotland radio host, presented Yunus with an award ruefully noticing how Iceland had just become one of the biggast victims of wall street subprime scams just like Scotland had lost its independence in a banking fraud circa 1700! One of the world's most successful entrepreneurs stood up and said - dr yunus the least we can do to honor you is to ensure we action anything we pledge.
