Description for Famine and Finance
Hardback. Num Pages: 201 pages, 4 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: 1DBR; 3JH; HBJD1; HBLL; KCT; KCZ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 210 x 148. Weight in Grams: 411.
The book uses archival data to examine how access to micro-finance credit played a role in facilitating adjustment to blight during the Great Famine of Ireland.
The author argues that the worst affected districts with a microfinance fund experienced substantially smaller population declines and larger increases in buffer livestock during the famine than those districts without a fund. The potentially limited capacity of credit access to mitigate the effects of a major environmental shock on the poorest, most vulnerable borrowers is also a key topic of discussion.
