The Miracles of Barefoot Capitalism:A Compelling Case

This is a wonderful book full of mind and heart expanding stories of people making it in the third world. Anyone with an interest in learning about positive global forces at work should read this book. The book also brings together information on Microcredit activity from many organizations and provides a terrific handbook of resources. It is extremely well written and quite entertaining with some great pictures.

an ongoing miracle

The authors wonderfully describe a system of helping underprivileged people (usually women) to use their talents in ways that contribute to health and happiness in their communities, their families, the world at large, and others who will learn from that experience and change their own lives through the microcredit system. As this system expands it will help bring stability to third-world countries and contribute to world peace as a result. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in helping others and understandinhg other cultures.
