This is a creative approach to accomplish good in the world. I also think it would be helpful for students learning economics to read and discuss this book.

I am glad that I have finally gotten to finish this book. Though I felt like I skimmed through the last few pages. Keohane presents the case for innovative finance in a very digestible manner and backs up her arguments with plenty of current case studies both from the developed and developing countries. I have to admit that I was pretty excited to see very relatable examples such as Mpesa and Kiva educational loans for Strathmore University students ( I am based in Kenya). Overall, I think that it was a pleasant read which I will keep referring to over and over again. This book would be perfect for anyone interested in Development Finance and Economics 101.
