Abstract
Authors critique the results, assumptions, and policies commonly associated with agricultural credit projects in low income countries. A summary of new views on these projects is presented. These views emphasize voluntary savings mobilization and positive real rates of interest. Several explanations are given for why few of these new views have been adopted by policymakers.
