Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

This book shone a powerful light on the skeptic in me. I cannot stop thinking about it or talking about it. Like every beauty pageant contestant, I now believe that the power to eliminate world hunger is within our grasp. Yunus's ideas about social conscience rather than greed driving a capitalist society are so bright-eyed and infectious that you can?t help but feel hopeful. I would almost be able to write him off as naive if his ideas hadn?t proved to be amazingly successful. What he has accomplished is ground breaking, yet feels so simple and right that after reading this book I wanted to jump in and help. This book gives the term ?poverty? a real weight and gives a reader the feeling that a solution is not as complicated as they may have believed.
