Few developmental fixes of the neoliberal era have captured the hearts, minds and pockets of the international development community, philanthropists and governments as much as microcredit. But in recent years, the microcredit model has been subject to scrutiny and intense criticism.
This book shines a light on the fundamental problems surrounding micro credit, including the impacts of dramatically rising levels of micro debt. Seen from the perspective of financialization, corporate rentierism and development finance, the book offers policy directions to move beyond this “fake” solution for poor households.
