But in recent years economic crises and political attacks have raised doubts about its efficacy, begetting polemic debates and sometimes baseless assertions from both supporters and detractors of microfinance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Credibility of Microcredit\u003c\/i\u003e offers a more objective assessment of the merits and shortfalls of microfinance around the world by way of interdisciplinary research. It features works from leading researchers in the field of microfinance, as well as new names who complement one another’s work with a variety of methods and theoretical approaches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors include: Britta Augsburg, Gwendolyn Alexander Tedeschi, Jonathan Bauchet, Cyril Fouillet, Soren Hauge, Dean Karlan, Jonathan Morduch, Michael Pisani, Sujata Shetty, Elisabeth Vik, and David Yoskowitz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReprint of some articles published in the journal \u003ci\u003ePerspectives on Global Development and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e, 2010, volume 9, No. 3-4.","brand":"Dwight Haase","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48269303546107,"sku":"9789004235380","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_7111b448-41cd-4b50-82a8-66526058e264.jpg?v=1778022514","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-credibility-of-microcredit-9789004235380","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
