Finance Against Poverty: Volume 1


Add your own review!

Overview

More than one billion people around the world live in poverty; most of them live in developing countries. The idea that these people might improve their living standards by becoming entrepreneurs - and that financial institutions should support their initiative with small loans - has found many supporters over the last decade. Volume 1 offers an in-depth analysis of this theory as well as policy recommendations for practitioners in the field.
