Consumer Credit in the United States: A Sociological Perspective from the 19th Century to the Present
The authors present a business person's introduction to microcredit and outline reasons why this form of aid is one of the most successful ways to fight poverty. Although I already understood some basics of microcredit loans, the book gave me more background and history of the microfinance movement. The authors seemed to write for a affluent audience looking for ways to enter into philanthropy, rather than for a broader audience including those with more modest incomes. This surprised me because, "the smaller the loan, the bigger the impact." Still, with the upcoming holidays sparking the spirit of giving, this book is a wonderful place to begin researching where and how to donate.
