Summary

This tale of GrameenPhone -- a partnership between Norway's Telenor and Grameen Bank, co-winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize -- illustrates a new approach to building business opportunities in the developing world. Author Nicholas P. Sullivan offers a compelling account of what he calls the "external combustion engine" -- a combination of forces that is sparking economic growth and lifting people out of poverty in countries long dominated by aid-dependent governments.
