✦ Synopsis
his description of required micro®nance practice ambitious but possible. By differentiating between micro®nance theory and practice, the book challenges current research methodologies and invites future research to adopt a more humble community based approach in which theory emerges from practice and is not imposed on unsuspecting communities. Each community, the reader will hear Wright continuously argue, must be given the opportunity, and indeed the right, to develop and experience micro®nance models that address their own unique needs, and not those of the consultants, leaders or donors that facilitate the programme.
