  ...
  Weigelt adds that most of the educational initiatives focus on managers of microfinance institutions rather than on the borrowers themselves.
  ...
  Wharton's Weigelt says he recognizes that regulation might be necessary to ensure that some microfinance providers do not charge usurious rates of interest.Still, he urges caution."If a regulator began to introduce rules, you have to wonder if that would drive microfinance institutions out of business," he says.

  ...
  Knowledge@Wharton: I was wondering, Keith, what is your take on all of this?
  
  Weigelt: I think that it is very courageous for someone to establish an operation like this.And the fact that she took this summer to go there and everything.I have always said that microfinance is the good side of capitalism.I think that we are showing a good side here.
  
  Knowledge@Wharton: In terms of the economic model that Liberian Widows Initiative has, how do you see it compared to other microfinance initiatives worldwide?
  
  Weigelt: It's probably how most microfinancing initiatives start, with small grants and support.We have seen an evolution in the industry [where] they are just getting off the grant 'breadline' and into a 'for profit' [model], being efficient and so forth.It's an evolution beginning across the entire industry.
  ...
  Weigelt: Yes -- if the venture capitalists don't want the huge returns that they are generally used to.
  ...
  Weigelt: Well, it's probably seen more funds thrown into it than it's ever seen before.

  The finance conference, "Creating Value in a Global Economy," focused on the state of what moderator Keith Weigelt, Wharton management professor, jokingly called, "the good side of capitalism."
  ...
  Weigelt noted that the microfinance curriculum at Wharton started as "a student-driven initiative three years ago."The key question, said Weigelt, is: "How do you stick to 'the double bottom line?'" -- profitability and social responsibility.
  ...
  In contrast, according to Weigelt, banks in the Middle East "often have absolutely no mechanism to assess risk and this makes them more dependent on subsidies."
