For this reason, Chinese development planners have turned to microcredit -- i.e. the provision of small-scale loans to 'financially excluded' rural households -- as a means of increasing 'financial consciousness' and facilitating rural de-marginalisation. Drawing on in-depth fieldwork in rural China, this book examines the formulation, implementation and outcomes of government-run microcredit programmes in China-illuminating the diverse roles that microcredit plays in local processes of socioeconomic development and the livelihoods of local actors. It details how microcredit facilitates de-marginalisation for some, while simultaneously exacerbating the marginalisation of others; and exposes the ways in which microcredit and other top-down development strategies reflect and reinforce the contradictions and paradoxes implicit in rural China's contemporary development landscape. 410 0$aTransforming Asia Ser. 606 $aChina$2bicssc 606 $aMicroeconomics$2bicssc 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aActor-oriented Approach. 610 $aChina. 610 $aFinancial Inclusion. 610 $aLivelihoods. 610 $aMarginalisation. 610 $aMicrocredit. 610 $aMicrofinance. 610 $aRelational Approach. 610 $aRural Development. 615 7$aChina 615 7$aMicroeconomics 700 $aLoubere$b Nicholas, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0921006 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910348215403321 996 $aDevelopment on Loan$92065725 997 $aUNINA
