Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist, and the Grameen Bank he founded were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for their efforts to reduce poverty by introducing innovative microfinance services. His microcredit model helped millions of entrepreneurs by giving them small loans when they could not access traditional banking. Yunus was recently involved in legal issues in Bangladesh due to alleged labor law violations by Grameen Telecom. Some have called this political retaliation for Yunus's prior opposition to government policies.
