商品描述

This edited collection discusses the evolution of microfinance and social business from the late medieval period to the modern era. The book fills a gap in financial history by exploring lesser-known, informal forms of credit granted to the poorest people, which have often not been recorded in writing.

The book highlights the particularly innovative forms of credit developed in Italy, but also includes global contributions on the presence of microfinance and social business across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. This book illuminates for different countries and periods forms of financial assistance available for those not deemed as creditworthy - whether through the institution of the Monti di Pietà, an Italian credit instrument of the late Middle Ages, loans granted by shopkeepers, pawnbroking, or mutual aid distributed by lottery or religious institutions. The geographical diversity of the chapters enables comparative analyses to be drawn between different forms of credit and financial systems as they developed over a long period. The research presented offers new perspectives for contemporary microfinance, as well as reconstructing the experience of those living in poverty in a range of social, economic and religious contexts. The book will be of interest to a broad readership, including those working in financial, economic and social history.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本編輯的合集探討了從中世紀晚期到現代的微型金融和社會企業的演變。這本書填補了金融歷史中的一個空白，通過探索授予最貧困人群的較少為人知的非正式信貸形式，這些信貸形式往往未被書面記錄。

本書突出了在意大利發展的特別創新信貸形式，但也包括了有關微型金融和社會企業在歐洲、亞洲和中東存在的全球貢獻。這本書為不同國家和時期提供了可用於那些不被視為信用良好者的財務援助形式的啟示——無論是通過蒙提·迪·皮耶塔（Monti di Pietà），這是一種中世紀晚期的意大利信貸工具，還是商店經營者提供的貸款、當鋪業務，或是由彩票或宗教機構分發的互助援助。各章節的地理多樣性使得可以對不同形式的信貸和金融系統進行比較分析，這些系統在長期內發展演變。所呈現的研究為當代微型金融提供了新的視角，同時重建了生活在貧困中的人們在各種社會、經濟和宗教背景下的經歷。這本書將吸引廣泛的讀者群，包括從事金融、經濟和社會歷史的人士。
