When we were in the caves,
we were all self-employed...
finding our food, feeding
ourselves. That’s where
human history began. As
civilization came, we suppressed
it. We became “labor” because
they stamped us, “You are labor.”
We forgot that we are entrepreneurs
—MUHAMMAD YUNUS Nobel Peace Prize winner and microfinance pioneer
