He understood that without improving the lot of the poor people, it is not possible to achieve economic development of the whole country. So he came up with the idea of micro-credit and established the Grameen Bank. This bank lends money poor or landless people. They can use in many productive activities.

Price Hike/ Price Spiral

When the cost of something becomes far more expensive than its original price then it’s known as price hike. Price rise is a great problem of the recent day. It is a common phenomenon (ঘটনা) not only in our country but also in the world. Today the prices of necessary things such as food items, cloths, education materials, medicine and many other necessary things are going up by leaps and bounds . Price rise is caused by several factors like hording, population explosion, low productivity, natural calamities, wars, backwardness of communication, evil motives of dishonest businessmen, smuggling, black marketing etc. If the price rise is caused by the short supply of commodities, it is temporary. But it is very difficult to control the price rise caused by inflation. However, the people of low income suffer greatly and pass there days in constant anxiety. They find it, difficult to make their both ends meet. Price rise has terrible effects on man's character. It leads people to the path of corruption and moral degradation. Lows should be enforced strictly to bring the prices of the essential commodities within the purchasing capacity of the common people.
