Bangladesh Braces for Elections as Yunus Steps Down; Inside Ideas Returns
Bangladesh is gearing up for democratic elections, expected in late 2025 or early 2026, marking a significant political transition. Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who has been leading the country through this period, is set to step down. Meanwhile, the popular Inside Ideas podcast has returned for Season 6, with Episode 1 now available.
Yunus, a renowned economist and social entrepreneur, is known for his innovative approach to poverty alleviation through microfinancing. He founded the Grameen Bank in 1983, providing small loans to the poor on easy terms. His work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. More recently, Yunus has been stabilizing Bangladesh following the 2024 revolution, serving as the interim pro-democracy leader at the invitation of students.
The Inside Ideas podcast, hosted by Marc Buckley, a serial entrepreneur dedicated to combating the climate crisis, has featured Yunus in the past. The 100th episode, released in 2021, highlighted Yunus' vision for a world with zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero net carbon emissions, as outlined in his book 'A World of Three Zeros'. As the podcast enters its sixth season, it continues to explore innovative ideas and solutions from thought leaders like Yunus.
As Bangladesh prepares for elections, the country looks to build on the progress made under Yunus' leadership. Meanwhile, the Inside Ideas podcast, with its latest episode now available, continues to inspire listeners with groundbreaking ideas and conversations with influential figures like Muhammad Yunus.
