Chapter 2 Tweaked

3/10/11

I revised chapter 2 last fall. This time through (.docx, .pdf), I mostly worked to incorporate comments from the peer reviewers. In particular, I think I did a better job of summarizing the chapter at the start and end and linking explicitly to the book's main ideas.

In my editing pass through the book, I've just finished with chapter 2, How the Other Half Finances (.docx, .pdf). I'm not entirely satisfied---I worry that it meanders---but I'll leave it for now. This chapter starts the book's approach to the grand question of whether microfinance works by looking at things from the clients' point of view.

Aside from the "bookend" chapters (now there's an odd metaphor), this book is really a series of perspectives on microfinance: the historian's perspective, the microfinance manager's perspective, the economist's perspective, and so on. The first perspective, in chapter 2 (.doc .pdf), is that of poor clients.
