Subject: RE: Microloans in Hackney | The Observer
Thanks Jon. From a 'dodgy brown woman' of the said third world country, one
who can both critique and appreciate the work of Yunus and Grameen in the
context of development, thanks for calling out the frauds on their own
terms! :)
For anyone interested in learning more about MF or Grameen, here are a
couple useful sources that highlight the positive and negative aspects that
may be of interest (keep your thinking caps on!) :
Grameen Bank: http://www.grameen-info.org
Yunus Center: http://www.yunuscentre.org/

Women’s Empowerment in Bangladesh,” World Development 24(4): 635-653.
Kabeer, N., 2001. “Conflicts Over Credit: Re-Evaluating the Empowerment
Potential of Loans to Women in Bangladesh,” World Development 29(1): 63-84.

Neoliberalism in Bangladesh.” Cultural Dynamics 20(1): 5-29.
