The Prepaid Economy Blog: Traditional moneylending - informal, flexible, trust based and changing fast
In summary, it seems that traditional ways and means which offer speed, flexibility and trust are definitely in danger from their rivals, the microfinance organizations but not that of being pushed out. Instead we find they too are taking on the practices of high volume micro loans to scale and compete with these newcomers.
Networks, Crowds, and Markets: A Book by David Easley and Jon Kleinberg
Over the past decade there has been a growing public fascination with the complex "connectedness" of modern society. This connectedness is found in many incarnations: in the rapid growth of the Internet and the Web, in the ease with which global communication now takes place, and in the ability of news and information as well as epidemics and financial crises to spread around the world with surprising speed and intensity. These are phenomena that involve networks, incentives, and the aggregate behavior of groups of people; they are based on the links that connect us and the ways in which each of our decisions can have subtle consequences for the outcomes of everyone else.
Networks, Crowds, and Markets combines different scientific perspectives in its approach to understanding networks and behavior. Drawing on ideas from economics, sociology, computing and information science, and applied mathematics, it describes the emerging field of study that is growing at the interface of all these areas, addressing fundamental questions about how the social, economic, and technological worlds are connected.
The book is based on an inter-disciplinary course entitled Networks that we teach at Cornell. The book, like the course, is designed at the introductory undergraduate level with no formal prerequisites. To support deeper explorations, most of the chapters are supplemented with optional advanced sections.

lxml vs. ElementTree « michael schurter
