\ From the Publisher"There are many books that survey the social condition of poverty - but far less which examine economic strategies for circumventing poverty in the world. That's why college-level collections must have this - it provides a roadmap for recovery and comes not from ideals but from leading microfinance leaders and institutions determined to cut poverty by as much as half."\ "The message... should serve as a wake up call: it is about time that the effective use of microfinancing and microenterprise became part of the mainstream, and became thought of as a pathway out of poverty... highly recommended."\ "Especially interesting as it condenses the experiences of numerous diferent microfinance institutions. For practitioners and academics alike, this book is a useful addition to the microfinance literature."\ \ \
