Invented by Muhammed Yunus, microcredit was developed and perfected in one of the poorest countries of the world, Bangladesh but it has also had excellent results in the rich countries of the West.
This work analyses all the aspects of the microcredit system today: how it functions, how many families have been helped, why women are the principal benefactors, what its effects are on health and education, which organisations support microfinance projects and what are the challenges it faces today. Above all, this book details the spectacular success and its major difficulties of the microcredit system, continent by continent, country by country.
