  abstract = {{M}icrocredit programmes, long considered efficient development tools, now face unprecedented crises in a number of countries. {I}s this the end of microcredit or rather an essential step in its expansion? {S}hould we stop microcredit altogether or rethink the way it is implemented? {D}rawing on extensive empirical research conducted in various parts of the world - from {M}orocco to {S}enegal to {I}ndia - this important volume examines the whole chain of microcredit to provide the answers to these questions. {I}n doing so, the authors highlight the diversity of crises, both in intensity and in nature, while also shedding light on a diversity of causes, be it microcredit organizations unprepared for massive growth, saturated local economies or greedy investors and shareholders attracted by profits. {C}rucially, the authors demonstrate that microcredit is not a monolithic project, and the crises should also be analysed in the light of national histories and policies.},
