What’s going on here: big fun with tiny loans

This blog is increasingly about The 1st International Bank of Bob, my upcoming book about microfinance for Bloomsbury.

After my round-the-world Forbes Traveler gig in '08, I plowed the cash into more than 2200 microloans in 55 countries, most via Kiva. Now I'm traveling the developing world to see the results, meet cool people, and share wild stories.

So far the book covers Bosnia, Rwanda, Morocco, Kenya, Peru, Poland, and Tanzania — and I'm only halfway through.

We'll have a speaking tour soon. A sample is to the right and there's more here. If you want me to come by, call. Thanks!
