Published in 2009, Portfolios of the Poor is the culmination of a research project that spans ten years and three countries, and examines the cash flow of almost 300 households among the poorest of the world. The result is a humanizing insight into the economic lives of the global poor, and a valuable resource for attempting to improve those lives. Jonathan Morduch’s book is one of the most highly regarded texts on economic development in the microfinance sector and is used as a textbook in university classes across the nation.

SVMN is proud to present this unique opportunity to hear Jonathan Morduch discuss his book and answer our questions. We look forward to seeing you there!
