• Is fin-tech the new panacea for poverty alleviation and local development? Contesting Suri and Jack’s M-Pesa findings published in Science (2019, background): “…popularisation of fin-tech as a developmental solution is, in many respects, premised on the continued prominence of the quintessential local development intervention associated with the neoliberal revolution: microcredit and the broader concept of financial inclusion (Bateman 2010; Mader 2015).”
• The digital revolution in financial inclusion: international development in the fintech era (2017, background): “In this context, the power of microfinance as a ‘mobilising narrative’ has played a central – but paradoxical – role in bridging the microfinance and FI eras in international development (Rankin 2013, Mader 2016).”
