It's not often that you meet a Nobel Prize winner, in the flesh, talking about economics outside the exclusive rooms of international forums usually reserved for insiders. Instead, with admission open to all and subject to availability, it will happen at MAXXI in Rome Saturday 19 May 2018 at 17.00.
The "star", if such a person can be labeled so special is Muhammad Yunus Nobel Peace Prize 2006, inventor of microcredit and founder of Grameen Bank, who will hold a conference in the Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome and will meet the public who have come to listen to him.
The title of the meeting is inspired by his book A WORLD WITH THREE ZEROS. How to permanently eliminate poverty, unemployment and pollution (Feltrinelli Publisher). Introduced by Giovanna Melandri President of the MAXXI Foundation, Yunus with courage and farsightedness will explain to the Museum public that after decades of unbridled capitalism, which has produced concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, increased inequalities and poverty, there is a different possibility that can be explored new paths in the economy, which are not inspired exclusively by the logic of personal profit.
