Credit subsistence : The Bank's Hold over Mayo Peasants in Yucatan (Mexico)
The analysis of various local situations shows that, although agricultural development programs based on the systematic distribution of credit usually fail as production policies, they have effects, unsought for and unforeseen by programmers, on consumption. In ecological and social conditions where a massive application of capital cannot significantly increase yields, credit seems more attractive because of accompanying services (social security, for example) or because of the disposable revenue it procures rather than because of its nature as a productive resource. Given bank's discriminatory powers, the granting of credit leads to competition and alliances between families, work groups and communities. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
