About the Author
Very little solid evidence exists tbat microloans
make a dent in long-term poverty. Sadly, evidence
does exist for negligence, corruption, and methods
tbat border on- extortion. Part
exposé,
part memoir,
and part: financial detective story, this is tbe account
of a one—time
tme
believer whose decade in tbe
industry turned
nim
into a heretic.
Hugh Sinclair worked with several
microfinance
institutions around the world. Pie couldn t help but
notice that even v^ith a booming $7O billion industry
on their side, the poor didn t seem any better
oŕF.
Exorbitant interest rates led borrowers into never-
ending debt spirals, and aggressive collection
practices resulted in cases of forced prostitution,
child labor, suicide, and nationwide revolts against
the
microfinance
community.
Sinclair weaves a shocking tale of a system
increasingly focused on maximizing profits
---
particularly once large banks got involved, tie details
his discovery of several scandals, one of the most
disturbins:
involving a larere African
microfinance
institution of questionable legality that charged
interest rates in excess o£ 1OO percent per year and
whose investors and supporters included some of
the most celebrated leaders of the
microfinance
sector. Sinclair s objections
Avere
first met Avith
silence, then threats, attempted bribery, and a court
, and eventually led him to become a principal
istlebloAver in a sector that had lost its soul.
Microfinance
cćzn
work
---
Sinclair describes
experiences with several ethical and effective
orgitoizations ana explains what made them
different. 13ut without the fundamental reforms that
SinclArecommends here,
microfinance
will remain
an
invüstment
opportunity that
^vill
leave the poor
wdth
hoBsşw
promises and empty pockets.
