Microfinance et éthique

Reinhard Schmidt ()

Revue d'économie financière, 2013, vol. N° 112, issue 4, 243-276

Abstract: This paper argues that despite its moral crisis, microfinance is still today socially, economically and morally valuable, provided that it is done properly, which requires that it is based on a clear commercial orientation and avoids excessive commercialization. Finally it places the specific debate about competing approaches to microfinance in the context of the general philosophical debate about what can be considered as ethically valuable human conduct. Classification JEL: G21, O16, O17.
