Microfinance was supposed to bring upward mobility to millions of people. Kiva and other organizations have let millions of people lend money to struggling entrepreneurs. But a new blockbuster book by a former industry insider is exposing the dark side of the micro-lending world. In a special co-production with KALW radio, Hugh Sinclair, the author of Confessions of a Microfinance Heretic, tells the story of how he learned the dirty truths behind the banking sector that’s creeping across the developing world.
Special thanks to KALW Radio.
