Confessions of a Microfinance Heretic: How micro lending lost its way and betrayed the Poor, by Hugh Sinclair

Microfinance, popularised by Muhamad Yunus and his Grameen Bank in Bangladesh has been hailed as the solution to global poverty and financial inequality.

This book is an insider's account of the ill-effects and problems of microfinance.
