View Points: A Billion Bootstraps

Presented by Harbourfront Centre's Community and Educational Programs, in partnership with International Readings at Harbourfront Centre (IRAH), with the assistance of McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

A Billion Bootstraps unearths the roots of the microcredit revolution, and is giving hope to billions of people across the globe. Microcredit expert and consultant Eric Thurman explores how these small loans, arranged by "barefoot bankers", enable impoverished people to start small businesses, support their families, and improve local economies.
