TY - GEN AU - Gulli, Hege TI - Microfinance and Poverty: Questioning the Conventional Wisdom PY - 2011 Y1 - 2011/10/15 DO - 10.18235/0012536 AB - Microfinance and Poverty probes a set of assumptions that have arisen about microfinance and poverty reduction and that have become the conventional wisdom, although they have not been proven. These assumptions are examined through a review and analysis of theoretical and applied literature on microfinance and poverty. The view of microcredit that emerges is more complicated, but the policies that grow out of this revised view may ultimately prove more effective. UR - https://doi.org/10.18235/0012536 ER -
