Abstract
Este trabajo analiza desde una perspectiva histórica la evolución de las microfinanzas (con especial referencia a los microcréditos) a lo largo de su historia, centrándose especialmente en la evolución de sus instituciones y en su influencia en el desarrollo de las sociedades. En cuanto a las instituciones se analizan las cooperativas de ahorro y crédito, el crédito directo o solidario y los modelos informales (guarda monedas, banca ambulante, tontines, etc.). Se discute cómo medir su impacto en el desarrollo, cuáles han sido los aspectos positivos y negativos de las microfinanzas así como qué método es el adecuado para conseguirlo.
This paper examines, from a historical perspective, the evolution of microfinance (with a special reference to microcredit) throughout its history, focusing especially on the evolution of their institutions and their influence on the development of societies. As for the institutions and credit cooperatives, direct lending and informal models (coins keepers, informal banking, tontine, etc.) are analyzed. We discuss how to measure its impact on development, what are the positive and negative aspects of microfinance and what is the right method to get it.
