From Chicago Tribune: ' Mention the Nobel Peace Prize and the names that come to mind are iconic--Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev and the like. They tend to be big players, powerful people who ran countries or global institutions. People for whom the prize is a ratification of what most of us already knew. This year's winner wasn't on most Americans' radar. Economist Muhammad Yunus hasn't run an institution known well here. But his message ought to resonate deeply in this nation of strivers. Most Americans believe they just need a chance to climb the ladder of success.' More / Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank
