- W4137005 abstract "This thesis is a comprehensive study which examines the economic, social andpolitical ideology underpinnings of microfinance institutions in Ireland. It alsoanalyses the sources, uses, and consequences of microfinance for the borrowerindividually and the Irish economy as a whole. The thesis studies the developments ofa number of microfinance institutions that operated in nineteenth century Ireland: loanfunds, savings banks (TSB and POSB), joint stock banks, Monts-de-Piete, Raiffeisenbanks, state-funded land purchase, and emigrant remittances. It utilises financial andmicrofinancial history as a prism to analyse Irish economic and social history.The thesis concludes by outlining four reoccurring themes that are presentthroughout: legislative constraints, institutional imitation, economic versus socialgoals and state intervention. It argues that all the institutions studied experiencedlegislative constraints, but that only the joint stock banks were able to overcome suchconstraints. Furthermore, it argues that the legislation encouraged moral hazard whichresulted in fraud as it absolved the management of loan funds and savings banks fromany liability for the running of those institutions. The thesis argues that the joint stockbanks were the only successful institutional imitation as the propagators of theseinstitutions took the existing market into consideration, something not done by otherssuch as the Mont-de-Piete and Raiffeisen Banks. It argues that many of theinstitutions were promoted on the basis of social rather than economic motivation, andas a result the promoters did not assess economic conditions in the market. Finally,the thesis argues that government intervention in the economy distorted financialmarkets, through involvement in savings markets and as a long term lender. It arguesthat the long term lending activities of the state encouraged inefficient investment andhindered long term Irish economic development." @default.
