It vindicates “the belief that trade, commerce and prosperity – not poverty and meaningless fighting – hold huge potentials for lasting peace” is necessary to win the Nobel Prize. :P

I agree that micro-credit is not the panacea. Poverty can never be totally eradicated.

The micro-loans allow people to trade, and it is trade and commerce, and the prospect of prosperity, that pave the way towards peace.

Didn’t they also give one to Kissinger?In no way does winning that bogus prize “vindicate” something.
