Michel Lelart

Revue d'économie politique, 2007, vol. 117, issue 2, 197-208

Abstract: Muhammad Yunus, the Founder of Microcredit and the Grameen Bank that he established in Bangladesh some thirty years ago, received last year the Nobel Prize... for Peace! The small loans granted to groups of poor women were considered a financial innovation that contributed to the success of Microfinance. What explains the success of Microcredit and Microfinance to the extend that they are practiced today world-wide? What are their shortcomings and the criticisms levelled against them?
