Microfinance: “The Poor Deserve Financial Services”

Given the popularity of last week’s posts on microfinance (see here and here), I continue blogging about the topic this week and the next.

This week, however, I am blogging about microfinance as seen from within the industry. As such, I am blogging the five-point response a friend of my wife’s and mine — whom I refer to by the pseudonym “Chad” — has made to my previous two posts.
