The course of Finance, Ethics and Microcredit is designed to provide students with the basic instruments to understand the processes of financialisation of the economy that characterize the most recent developments of the global economy, the many dimensions of the current crisis and the distortions that have resulted. Against this background an overview of the ethical finance movement and of the micro-credit experiences will be then offered, at global, European and Italian levels. This will enable students to understand the reasons and the ways of the development of ethical finance and micro-credit, their specificity and their ways of operation, as well as to evaluate the results that they can achieve.
