Overview
Over the Last Thirty Years or So, Microfinance Has Risen to Become One of the Most High-Profile Policies to Address Poverty and Under-Development. in Developing and Transition Countries. It is Beloved of Rock Stars, Royalty, Movie Stars, High Profile Politicians and 'Trouble-Shooting' Economists, Such As Jeffrey Sachs and Hernando De Soto. Its Most Famous Pioneer From Bangladesh, Dr Muhammad Yunus, Was Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. Microfinance is Consistently Rated As One of the Most Important Innovations to Have Come Along This Past Forty Years or So. Dr Bateman Believes, However, That Microfinance Doesn't Actually Work. His Argument is That, If You Look More Closely, the Case for Microfinance Has Actually Been Largely Built on a Desire to Advance a Particular Free Market Ideology, on Hype and Egregious Half-Truths, and - Latterly - on the Wall Street-Style Greed, Deception and Individual Self-Interest of Those Actually Promoting and Working in Microfinance.
