Iqbal Quadir had a dream. He wanted to bring economic prosperity and political freedom to the people of his homeland of Bangladesh. He supported no socialist ideology, and represented no charity. He was sure that, given the chance, the people of his country would empower themselves. Quadir started GrameenPhone to give them that chance, and to make a lot of money in the process.
