  abstract = {{T}his article aimed to deepen understandings of poor household borrowing practices by drawing on a case study from rural {S}outhern {I}ndia. {I}t combines descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis to show that households juggle with a wide range of borrowing sources and that each serves very specific purposes. {F}rom a theoretical perspective, we suggest that the neoclassical cost/benefit framework often used to analyse debt decisions should be enlarged to include social criteria in line with recent insights from economic anthropology and political economy. {F}rom a policy perspective, we argue that all things being equal, local financial arrangements might have important comparative advantages over traditional microfinance products.},
