Mohammad Yunus - Davos Debates 2009

[StephenChin1]

Have Gates and Buffet heard of MicroCredit? Yet?

[indiasucksalways]

It is a FACT that India's workers are ranked 124th in world worker productivity 124! USA's workers are ranked 4th! And we need you? You people are delusional.

[karibella333]

Dr. Yunis is not even from India! He is also a genius who is transforming the world. Including helping people in America. read at least one of his books before you comment again.

[JTawfilis]

Ooooh if people could only get it right....Dr. Yunus is a real hero....and for all the right reasons,--proven ones He has made a huge difference in this world. Ask the millions of those he has helped and who now live with dignity and self respect because of what he made possible and enabled people to do to help themselves.

[indiasucksalways]

At any rate, no more H-1Bs for India because you didn't perform as promised. The last of the 2003 visas will expire in Oct. 2009 and you will all have to go home. Too bad for India. You had your chance. Now you get to be unemployed. HA HA.

[asakanda]

I had my chance - converted my H-1B to PERMANENT RESIDENCY. There are hundreds of thousands like me - and we got your employment. HA HA.

If there were no PhD level research ... the american COLLEGE DROPOUTS wouldn't even have the materials to create. What a joke!

[indiasucksalways]

Ha ha - you wish. Even if you did, you still are incapable of doing anything. California is $64 billion in debt, going bankrupt, and there are no more jobs. Everything India touches dies. Corp. America is getting wise to your fraud and soon no one will want to hire you. I make $100/hr meantime.

[asakanda]

Corp America is getting wise about Indian fraud? How about the amount of inherent fraud in the system? Why do you think Wall Street and all the big Corp names are sucking **** now? Wise Corp America = OXYMORON.

[indiasucksalways]

Why are all the big corp names sucking - not all - Apple sure isn't. And Apple is one of the few companies that doesn't layoff its American workforce and hire faking grifter conmen Indians who clean out one company after another. The "big corp names" that are sucking are the ones who employ tandoori conmen who can't do the work and end up putting FOR LEASE on their buildings. "Indians help keep America competitive" - yeah - competitive at seeing who can be the poorest country in the world.

[indiasucksalways]

List of evil white male inventions the whole world now enjoys:

Modern manufacturing. Light bulb. Air travel. Space travel. Modern medicine. Computers/software/internet. Automobiles. TV. Radio. Telephone. Transistor/IC.

Now let's name India's inventions given to the world:

Poverty. Unemployment. Disease. Corruption/fraud/faking/conmen­.

Umm that's the entire list I guess.

[indiasucksalways]

India's workers are ranked 124th(!!!) in productivity measures of all the countries in the world. USA's workers are ranked FOURTH. India's schools refuse to participate in the WORLD-STANDARD STEM tests which gauge how smart students are. This is a WORLD STANDARD that every civilized country participates in but India won't because you know it would expose you students as the the stupid morons that you are.

[asakanda]

You didn't get the point. you are using very specific 'americanized' indicators to judge US vs China/India. I guess the economy hurts big time. sorry about that!

[asakanda]

Innovations ... hmm, let me think. Check out the composition of the people involved in graduate research in US universities. Do check out the number of Indian/Chinese professors and students among them. Brains cause innovations!!!

[indiasucksalways]

Just because US schools have been taken over by Indian/Chinese students, doesn't mean a thing. Waht have you actually INVENTED. Name the inventions. Name them. Any moron can go to school and cheat his way through but let's see India or China invent even ONE new industry. Any new industries on the scale of autos, aerospace, or computers coming out of those countries? Didn't think so. We have a saying in the west: you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

[asakanda]

only shows that you know squat about phd research. i didn't expect you to know that anyway. i hope the economy gets better for you and you have something better to do that sulk at those who took your job.

[indiasucksalways]

PhD research is a joke. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were COLLEGE DROPOUTS, not PhDs. Those who can do, those who can't study (and teach).

"Creativity is more important than knowledge"

-- Albert Einstein

[indiasucksalways]

China and India (all of Asia) are not pulling their weight in terms of creating new industries. Instead they are taking industries invented by whitey away from whitey and then blaming him for the world's problems? I don't think so.

[indiasucksalways]

"Betterment of all nations" is COMMUNISM.

Taking what the west has created and giving it to countries that have created NOTHING in 5000 years is COMMUNIMSM.

And you all wonder why the world econ is in trouble? Stop taking from productive people and giving to unproductive people and maybe the world econ will improve.

Name one industry invented by China and India for the "betterment of the U.S. economy".

[asakanda]

NOTHING in 5000 years?!! What about text, what about medicine, what about literature, what about caffiene? You start a country occupying others' lands and in 300 years, you claim to be the world's leader for the last 5000 years?!! Moron.

[indiasucksalways]

Modern medicine was invented in India? That's a good one. China won't approve any drug that is not approved by US FDA. literature? Ask anyone in any college in the west to name 5 Indian literature classics. Meanwhile the whole world knows Inferno, Charles Dickens, or Geoffrey Chaucer. India invented caffiene? Caffiene is a NATURAL substance which occurs, for example, in COFFEE BEANS. West never got rich "occupying others' lands". We got rich by inventing autos, computers, internet, etc.

[asakanda]

Productive people ... in the USA?!! Are you out of your freaking mind? Is that why the economy of the USA is NOT growing at a continuous pace of 11-12% (like China) or even 7-8% (like India). How do you define who is the most productive people? Suddenly invention is the benchmark of production? Look at the freaking dictionary, moron.

[indiasucksalways]

USA econ is not growing because imported workers have destroyed all the jobs and exported all the capital. How can an economy grow if there is no new capital to start businesses. The fact remains: before you people started coming here (1998), the USA economy was BOOMING with AMERICAN workers. If American workers are not productive, it's because Indian nationals in USA won't hire them and are keeping them out of the workforce. USA is not doing too well with a foreign workforce.

[indiasucksalways]

The U.S. has a $700 billion trade deficit every year - $250 billion of it with China. USA is losing $700 billion in wealth to the rest of the world and the world blames the U.S. for the "financial crisis"? I don't think so.

Look in the mirror. Your insistance on unbalanced trade is the real cause.

[F430fanatic]

well said Professor

[skewzme1]

I admire people like you....unselfish ideas for the betterment of all nations but not for some few self preserving countries.....I salute you.....

[ososturk]

he's very ambitious and creative. great speech. very inspiring.

[indiasucksalways]

The Davos attendees all look like robots or look like they are jacked up on crank.

[indiasucksalways]

For all you morons at Davos who are blaming the U.S. for the economic crisis, you need to be told that it is YOU who are causing the economic crisis. Other countries insist on $700 billion trade surpluses and jamming millions of guest workers into the U.S. who are siphoning our wealth and now you blame the USA? It's the UNBLANCED TRADE that other countries insist on that is the cause of the problem.

[extrusve]

Does the US insist on having a huge trade deficit?

Is US trade unbalanced?

[kaziabir1]

dammm i'm so proud to be Bangladeshi !! preofessor Yunus is Bangladeshi and studied in Dhaka, now he is internationally famous. We Bengali people always believe in peace & prosper =)

[Carmine0077]

people like Yunus should be put in charge of the situation - or at least, listened to.

These are the people the world needs the most. People who have vision, courage and imagination. And can tell the difference between right and wrong, of course :)

[xWatChYouRHeaDx]

uhm.. we need him with Obama.. in the US.. money making machines!! thats so right.. money making machines..

[kathleen8131]

WOW...............hardly have people nowadays who are so optimistic and passionate and who continue to push for ideals even as most people around them dun feel the same way.............tt's why he won the Nobel Peace Prize and tt's how he's changing the world!
