About MicroFinance

First of all, sociology is the study of social interaction—how society works as a result of working together. It is finding out how and why we act, based on how we see others act. MicroFinance attempts to empower the impoverished by encouraging capitalist entrepreneurship. Often MF uses social capital/collateral in lieu of hard collateral.

More on MicroFinance will come soon.

Don’t forget, Sociology is a science and is based on measurable evidence. Some data may be concrete like from surveys and census data. Some data are softer, and acquired through interviews and focus groups. And some can only be obtained through “living with the tribes” or developing relationships with key informants.

We may use all these techniques to gain further understanding of social phenomena, and hopefully better the lives of people.
