We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky

"We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky" explores the complex and often unintended consequences of microfinance policies, focusing on the stories of women borrowers in Sierra Leone. Mara Kardas-Nelson examines the rise of small loans as a solution to global poverty and questions the broader impacts of such financial strategies. The book invites reflection on who benefits from these policies and who may be left behind, shedding light on the deep history and complexities of modern international development.
