In Borrowing Together, Becky Hsu examines the social aspects of the
most intriguing element of group-lending microfinance: social
collateral. She investigates the details of the social
relationships among fellow borrowers and between borrowers and
lenders, finding that these relationships are the key that explains
the outcomes in rural China. People access money through their
social networks, but they also do the opposite: cultivate their
social relationships by moving money. Hsu not only looks closely at
what transpired in the course of a microfinance intervention, but
also reverses the gaze to examine the expectations that brought the
program to the site in the first place. Hsu explains why
microfinance's 'articles of faith' failed to comprehend the
influence of longstanding relationships and the component of
morality, and how they raise doubts - not only about microfinance -
but also about the larger goals of development research.
