Book Reviews of A Billion Bootstraps: Microcredit, Barefoot Banking, and The Business Solution for Ending Poverty
Book Review: Microfinance explained - for the little man as well as the corporate investor!
Summary: 5 Stars
Though it's focused on corporate philanthropy, this book talks clearly to me, as an individual with modest monthly direct debits to charity, wondering what actually happens to the money, and how many people it really helps. Microcredit is explained the golden route to maximizing the number of lives you can touch. The book encourages readers to think of charitable giving in the same way you would if you were investing for profit - and expecting your money to 'work'. Makes complete sense to me!
