Book Reviews of Microfinance Handbook: An Institutional and Financial Perspective (Sustainable Banking With the Poor)

Book Review: This is the place to start for Microfinance
Summary: 5 Stars

For those interested in Microfinance this is a must have for any library. It covers the basics of Microfinance including whose involved and where it is succeeding. It is really more of a reference guide than anything else and is very helpful for those starting out. I found it invaluable for writing papers related to microfinance. If you are going into this field or have an interest in international economics/ international political economy this is a must read.
