Recenzii

DO NOT READ THIS BOOK - if you wish to retain the myths attached to microfinance rather than enjoy and appreciate the best available scholarly, reasoned and readable critique.
It's a timely, much-needed, and must-read book for anyone interested in the problems of development assistance.
Microfinance has suffered too long from unthinking enthusiasm, but some negative views are beginning to make themselves heard. Bateman is the first, however, to examine microfinance critically and coherently as a whole, and to take a sceptical long term view of its social and economic effects.
