The Other Financial Crisis: Growth and crash of the microfinance sector in India

Author

Listed:
  • Christa Wichterich

Abstract

Christa Wichterich examines the integration of women into the financial market and the role borrowers of microcredits play. She argues that lending to women and microcredits as a main source of income has brought a financialization of everyday life to Indian villages resulting in a feminization of indebtedness.
