Two nonfiction books question the efficacy of financial systems that are meant to help lift people out of poverty. In Unjust Debts, law professor Melissa Jacoby argues that bankruptcy in the United States exacerbates existing racial and economic inequalities. While filing for bankruptcy is supposed to offer individuals and families a fresh start, Jacoby suggests that the system often benefits corporations instead. In today's episode, she speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about the favorable treatment afforded to corporations and possible strategies of reform. Then, journalist Mara Kardas-Nelson's We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky takes a critical look at microcredit through the stories of women borrowers in Sierra Leone. Microcredit was introduced in the 1970s as an anti-poverty measure and ultimately won its creator the Nobel Peace Prize. But in today's episode, Kardas-Nelson talks with NPR's Fernandes about the way these loans have kicked off vicious cycles of debt.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Machine learning algorithms are increasingly being used to make highly consequential decisions for citizens of the Global South. I talk to Genevieve Smith about how algorithmic decision making in the realm of financial inclusion can lead to inequitable outcomes along gender lines, how that compares to the status quo, and how we can do better as practitioners and researchers.Genevieve Smith is the founding co-director of the Responsible and Equitable AI Initiative at the Berkley AI Research Lab and is also part of the faculty at Haas. She also serves as a Gender & AI Fellow at USAID and leads research partnerships with big tech firms.
Gary White, co-founder of Water.org, has been at the forefront of innovative solutions for water access. Alongside Matt Damon, White has provided water and sanitation to over 66 million people through the WaterCredit program. Unlike traditional charity models, WaterCredit offers loans to individuals for water and sanitation projects, which are repaid at a remarkable 98% rate. This approach not only empowers individuals but also creates a sustainable financial model by recycling philanthropic funds.White highlights the significant role of women in this model, as 90% of the borrowers are women. These loans, averaging $377, enable access to essential water and sanitation services, improving health, education, and economic outcomes. The impact is profound: with every loan repaid, the funds can be reused to help more people, creating a multiplier effect.One of the key challenges addressed by Water.org is the need for infrastructure in rural areas. While WaterCredit addresses immediate needs through microloans, Water Equity, another initiative by White, focuses on investing in water infrastructure projects. This dual approach ensures that both individual and community needs are met, providing a comprehensive solution to water access.Water.org's innovative financial models also emphasize climate resilience. Their projects incorporate environmental impact studies, ensuring that water solutions are sustainable and adaptable to climate change. This forward-thinking approach is crucial for long-term water security.Collaboration is at the heart of Water.org's strategy. With a network of 140 financial institutions worldwide, they tailor solutions to local needs, ensuring effectiveness and sustainability. This extensive partnership network is vital for scaling their impact and reaching more communities.While private sector innovation drives much of Water.org's success, White acknowledges the critical role of governments and international institutions. Collaborative efforts are necessary to bridge the financing gap and ensure universal access to safe water and sanitation. Institutions like the World Bank are increasingly recognizing the value of Water.org's models and incorporating them into their platforms.Public perception and education are also crucial. Changing narratives around water access from a charity issue to a viable market opportunity is essential for attracting investment and support. Water.org's data-driven approach and success stories play a significant role in this.Looking ahead, Water.org aims to reach 100 million people with an additional $1 billion in investment capital. Their vision includes integrating individual and infrastructure needs, ensuring comprehensive and sustainable water access solutions. By continuing to innovate and collaborate, Water.org is set to make significant strides toward global water security.Full Episode: https://dww.show/how-adionics-took-a-bold-stand-in-the-competitive-dle-landscape/Hosted by Ausha.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Carl Herman is a National Board Certified Teacher of US Government, Economics, and History (also credentialed in Mathematics), with an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley in Global Development focused on ending poverty (1983), and an Ed.M from Harvard's Graduate School of Education (1999). Herman has worked as a public education teacher since 1984. Two Los Angeles Mayors honored him as among the very best in Central L.A. among a population of ~10,000 teachers. Herman worked with both US political parties over 18 years up to two UN Summits for heads of state as a key volunteer with the citizen's lobby, RESULTS, for US domestic and foreign policy to end poverty (1990 World Summit for Children and 1997 Microcredit Summit).

Unter dem Begriff Dependenztheorie sammeln sich im Zuge der Dekolonisierung unterschiedliche Theorien. Ihnen gemein ist, dass sie auf globaler Ebene die Länder in zwei Sets von Staaten einteilen: Den globalen Norden, die ehemaligen Kolonialmächte und der globale Süden, die kolonisierten Länder. Kritisiert wird hier, dass immer noch dieses Abhängigkeitsverhältnis besteht. Diese Abhängigkeit und dieses Verhältnis wird verstärkt durch jede Interaktion der Staaten. Wir sprechen darüber woher diese Theorie kommt, was sie vielleicht heute für eine Bedeutung hat und wie grenzt sie sich ab von Beispielsweise Wallersteins Weltsystemanalyse und was sie mit der Modernisierungstheorie zu tun hat. Außerdem erzählt Chris von der Summer School in Konstanz, die stattgefunden hat.

A War on Global Poverty: The Lost Promise of Redistribution and the Rise of Microcredit (Princeton UP, 2021) provides a fresh account of US involvement in campaigns to end global poverty in the 1970s and 1980s. From the decline of modernization programs to the rise of microcredit, Joanne Meyerowitz looks beyond familiar histories of development and explains why antipoverty programs increasingly focused on women as the deserving poor. When the United States joined the war on global poverty, economists, policymakers, and activists asked how to change a world in which millions lived in need. Moved to the left by socialists, social democrats, and religious humanists, they rejected the notion that economic growth would trickle down to the poor, and they proposed programs to redress inequities between and within nations. In an emerging “women in development” movement, they positioned women as economic actors who could help lift families and nations out of destitution. In the more conservative 1980s, the war on global poverty turned decisively toward market-based projects in the private sector. Development experts and antipoverty advocates recast women as entrepreneurs and imagined microcredit—with its tiny loans—as a grassroots solution. Meyerowitz shows that at the very moment when the overextension of credit left poorer nations bankrupt, loans to impoverished women came to replace more ambitious proposals that aimed at redistribution. Based on a wealth of sources, A War on Global Poverty looks at a critical transformation in antipoverty efforts in the late twentieth century and points to its legacies today.

Development experts and antipoverty advocates recast women as entrepreneurs and imagined microcredit—with its tiny loans—as a grassroots solution. Meyerowitz shows that at the very moment when the overextension of credit left poorer nations bankrupt, loans to impoverished women came to replace more ambitious proposals that aimed at redistribution. Based on a wealth of sources, A War on Global Poverty looks at a critical transformation in antipoverty efforts in the late twentieth century and points to its legacies today. Stephen Pimpare is director of the Public Service & Nonprofit Leadership program and Faculty Fellow at the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.
A War on Global Poverty: The Lost Promise of Redistribution and the Rise of Microcredit (Princeton UP, 2021) provides a fresh account of US involvement in campaigns to end global poverty in the 1970s and 1980s. From the decline of modernization programs to the rise of microcredit, Joanne Meyerowitz looks beyond familiar histories of development and explains why antipoverty programs increasingly focused on women as the deserving poor. When the United States joined the war on global poverty, economists, policymakers, and activists asked how to change a world in which millions lived in need. Moved to the left by socialists, social democrats, and religious humanists, they rejected the notion that economic growth would trickle down to the poor, and they proposed programs to redress inequities between and within nations.

Professor Muhammad Yunus is a leader who transforms visionary ideas into practical actions which benefit millions of people around the world. He is a social entrepreneur, banker, economist, civil society leader and a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, globally recognised for pioneering the game-changing concepts of microcredit and microfinance. His revolutionary microloan system, designed to empower entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans, won Yunus and the Grameen Bank a joint Nobel Peace Prize for their ground-breaking contribution to economic and social development. Following a Fulbright scholarship to study economics at Vanderbilt University, Yunus returned to Bangladesh to head the economics department at Chittagong University. However, after observing the Bangladesh famine of 1974 Yunus found his true calling and became driven by his passion for impacting the poverty he witnessed. In 1976, during visits to the poorest households in the village of Jobra, he hypothesised small loans could make an exponential difference to those who would not qualify at traditional banks. Fueled by the belief that credit is a fundamental human right, Yunus secured a personal loan to lend to entrepreneurs in Jobra. By July 2007, Grameen had issued US$6.38 billion to 7.4 million borrowers and today the Grameen Bank has advanced to the forefront of a flourishing world movement eradicating poverty through microlending. The success of the Grameen microfinance model has inspired equivalent organisations in almost every nation in the world, in developing and developed countries alike. Many microcredit projects retain Grameen's focus on lending to women who typically suffer disproportionately from poverty but are renowned for their natural entrepreneurialism and ability to pay back loans at record rates. Currently, the Grameen Bank has nine million borrowers, 97% of which are women. For his ground-breaking contribution to social development, Professor Muhammad Yunus is one of only seven people to have received the Nobel Peace Prize, Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Gold Medal. He is also the recipient of numerous international awards for his ideas and endeavors, including the Mohamed Shabdeen Award for Science (1993), Sri Lanka; Humanitarian Award (1993), CARE, USA; World Food Prize (1994), World Food Prize Foundation, USA; lndependence Day Award (1987), Bangladesh’s highest award; King Hussein Humanitarian Leadership Award (2000), King Hussien Foundation, Jordan; Volvo Environment Prize (2003), Volvo Environment Prize Foundation, Sweden; Nikkei Asia Prize for Regional Growth (2004), Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japan; Franklin D. Roosevelt Freedom Award (2006), Roosevelt Institute of The Netherlands; and the Seoul Peace Prize (2006), Seoul Peace Prize Cultural Foundation, Seoul, Korea. Yunus's visionary ideas and trailblazing fearlessness have been inspirational to countless people and have led to new systems and programs devoted to social causes all over the world. Yunus was named among the most desired thinkers the world should listen to by the FP 100, one of 12 greatest entrepreneurs of the current era by Fortune Magazine, one of Forbes “10 Most Influential Business Gurus” and is one of the most followed people on social media worldwide.

They should learn that there are two kinds of businesses in the world. One is a business which makes money, and the other solves the problems of the world. It’s an academic exercise and what they do with that in real life will depend on them.” “I was feeling terrible that here I teach elegant theories of economics, and those theories are of no use at the moment with the people who are going hungry. So I wanted to see if as a person, as a human being, I could be of some use to some people.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
