Abstract
This book focuses on how the demand for
microfinance can be met on a global scale. It documents the
contributions of institutions and of people who have led the
development of commercial finance for the poor, and it
analyzes the principles on which the microfinance revolution
is based. In sum, this work offers a detailed overview of
the development of microfinance over the past 20 years; a
global view of microfinance in the developing world (largely
excluding Eastern Europe); a thesis on the future path of
microfinance; a coherent theory about microfinance--why it
works when so many other development interventions fail;
detail on a number of important microfinance topics--such as
informal moneylending and savings; an important study on,
and lessons from Indonesia, with detailed analysis of Bank
Rakyat Indonesia; and, brief studies of many other
microfinance institutions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
