Produktbeschreibung
Investigating the claims of the success of microcredit, as well as critiques of it in the context of women's empowerment, this book uses the case study of Bangladesh in order to prove that the success stories of the microcredit programme have been blown out of proportion.
Using the case study of Bangladesh and based on a long term participatory observation method, this book investigates the claims of the success of microcredit, as well as the critiques of it in the context of women's empowerment.
