The “Moral Hazards” of Microfinance: Restructuring Rural Credit in India
Summary. Microfinance has spread globally as a development tool since the 1970s, but this paper examines how these practices and ideas operate differently in specific places. Using fieldwork in coastal Andhra Pradesh, India, the author traces microfinance expansion across the region and analyzes a recent protest against commercial microfinance institutions, showing how economic ideas are produced, travel, and face local contestation.
