Summary:

This text looks in depth at the psycho-socio-dynamics of poverty, at mobilizing constructive forces of groups to empower borrowers to become effective agents. The volume is grounded upon consideration of poverty as a psychological as much as an economic condition, and discusses microcredit as an innovative tool to overcome poverty in that perspective. It will pay special attention to the Grameen model considered through the special relational technology associated with it, which draws upon solidarity-lending groups and community interaction.
