Críticas
"What's Wrong With Microfinance? unapologetically asks questions that others have been too polite, complacent, or uncritical to ask. You don't have to agree with everything here, or even most of it, to learn a great deal."--Jonathan Morduch, Professor of Public Policy and Economics, New York University and co-author of The Economics of Microfinance
"This book by microfinance insiders will be invaluable to the enthusiasts as well as the critics not only to reflect on its true potential but also to temper the unrealistic expectations that have been triggered by the UN year and the Nobel prize."--Sukwinder Arora, microfinance professional
"During a stampede it's useful for someone to ride apart from the herd and speculate about where the multitude is going. This book does that for the widely promoted and highly praised microfinance industry...."--Dr. Dale W. Adams, Professor Emeritus
"A timely collection of expert treaties questioning the scope of and rationales for microfinance. Specifically aimed at giving a reality check at a time when hype around microfinance's potential has never been greater...."--Dr. Ben Rogaly, Senior Lecturer in Human Geography
Reseña del editor
Microfinance has been a long-lived development fashion. It has been around since the 1980s, and in 2005 it enjoyed the accolade of a UN international year. The reasons for this success are obvious. It reaches millions of poor people, particularly women, and it can be profitable both for some of its customers and also for the institutions which finance it.
There are, however, some important problems, discussed in this book. Some arise from exaggerated expectations, some from bad design and mismanagement and some from erroneous basic policies. Is microfinance really a step on the road to economic growth, or is it a short-term palliative, keeping poor people poor? Can an MFI really work if it embraces the “double bottom line” of both profit and social good? Is microfinance, especially credit, harmful, often landing the vulnerable poor in debt? Should microfinance be reaching the poorest? The chapters, written by well-known experts in the field, are grouped around the categories: clients, institutions, and expectations.
The authors sound a timely warning to governments, bankers, donors and the general public. The intention is not to bring microfinance to a stop, but to make people pause, reassess their expectations and re-think some policies. Microfinance is never a panacea and may sometimes be actively damaging to its intended customers.
