ABSTRACT<br />
“What improves the circumstances of the greater part can never be regarded as<br />
an inconvenience to the whole. No society can be flourishing and happy if the<br />
greater part of the members are poor and miserable” (Smith, 1776). Smith’s<br />
words are in tune with work of Yunus: to help subjects who usually cannot have<br />
access to banking services means to give millions of people the possibility to get<br />
out of poverty and to create a sustainable development.<br />
The aim of this work is to show that ethics in economics is relevant to decrease<br />
inequality, poverty and social exclusion. For this reason authors analyze the role<br />
played by micro cre<strong>di</strong>t institutions in generating a new model of development and<br />
reaching a higher degree of welfare.<br />
