MICROFINANCE PERILS AND PROSPECTS
FERNANDO J. wydawnictwo: ROUTLEDGE, 2006, wydanie I cena netto: 530.00 Twoja cena 503,50 zł + 5% vat - dodaj do koszyka Microfinance is defined as the financial services offered to the poor for the purpose
of promoting small-scale enterprises, and as such it is one of the most important topics
in development studies and a burgeoning area in economics.
This volume provides a much-needed historical, political and economic dimension to the
current knowledge on microfinance. Collectively, the contributors chart the relationship
between the prevailing popularity of microfinance and the consolidation of neoliberal
economic ideology worldwide. They demonstrate how microfinance, as a market-friendly
approach to development, coincides with the global trend towards diminishing the role of
the state in economic development, basic healthcare, education and welfare. The articles
in the volume focus on the empirical analyses of the experience of microfinance in women’s
everyday lives, but rejects the connection between microfinance and women’s empowerment
so often imputed in literature.
This book offers regional, cultural and other explanations for variable assessments of
microfinance and empowerment. It fills a huge gap in published microfinance literature and
will be of great interest to postgraduates and professionals in the fields of economics,
international finance and banking.
