«El banquero de los pobres» is Muhammad Yunus's essay on microcredit, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback in Spanish.
Muhammad Yunus recounts how in 1976 he lent 27 dollars to 42 artisans in Bangladesh to buy raw materials. From this, in 1983, Grameen Bank was born, granting microcredit to the poorest. Yunus defends credit as a human right and describes the opposition of the banking sector, with repayment rates close to 100% and a majority of women among borrowers.
It belongs to the Estado y Sociedad collection from Paidós. It has 280 pages and includes a translation by Albino Santos Mosquera.
For readers interested in economics, social justice and the fight against poverty, and for those who want to learn how microcredit came about.
