Alternative Lending

by Amanda Hiber (Editor)

Explores how alternative lending compares to traditional lending, if it has more inherent risks, and if traditional lending should be made more accessible. Examines whether the practice of payday lending benefits or exploits borrowers, and assesses peer-to-peer lending as an effective alternative. Also looks at global microlending as an empowerment tool for the poor, and its limitations for bringing borrowers out of poverty.

Good series idea, but I thought this was about investing side, not opinions on the lending side.
