A microfinance industry insider offers a shocking account of corruption and betrayal of the poor by an industry supposedly dedicated to doing good. The author is one of the rare field workers who has seen microloans work at the ground level; he concludes that predatory lending and profit pressure are causing most of them to do far more harm than good. This is the sad tale of a good idea gone horribly bad.
