Global Estimates

Since the beginnings of modern microfinance in the 70s, the industry continued to grow rapidly, albeit fueled by dubious assumptions related to market potential. Boosted by Nobel Prize award, thousands of new MFIs are currently being created in the lure of market potential, estimated atone and half billion of unattended clients. The estimates, however, differ drastically and there is no wide scale assessment available deducing the unattainable market strata, detrimental to sustainablemicrofinance, from the inflated estimates. The exaggerations are to be denoted as unrealistic andexcluded from the global estimates. This study intends to quantify the market wrongly assumed to form part of the microfinance market and to deduce the real size of the potential global microfinancesector, appraising the size of the market that should not be counted into the integral demand, since it isunsustainable or harmful to the players involved.

''Professor Heyrovský. You are the originator of one of the most important methods of contemporary chemical analysis. Your instrument is extremely simple - just falling droplets of mercury - but you and your collaborators have shown that it can be used for the most diverse purposes ... May I ask you to advance and receive the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for this year from the hands of our King'', said professor Arne Ölander, member of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry, in Czech language to the laureate Jaroslav Heyrovský at the award ceremony in the Stockholm Concert Hall on 10th December 1959. The year of 2020 is the year of 130th anniversary of the birth of prof. Jaroslav Heyrovský, the first Czech recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and 61 years since he received his prize in Stockholm (Sweden).

This paper deals with some complex and controversial issues that arose in connection with the 2010 Nobel Prize Peace award to the Chinese dissident Liu Xiao Bo. These issues involve different levels. On one level it is important not to confuse the Nobel committee’s independence of outside interference from political and other organized agencies, with the question of whether the Nobel Prize committee’s decisions can be ideological or politically unbiased in its decisions. Part of the strong Chinese reaction to the award is related to this issue. Another level deals with the Committee’s widening of the criteria to be taken into account in the selection of candidates from the original criterion focused on direct contribution to reduction of armed conflicts, to the wider issues of indirect contributions like alleviation of poverty, ecological sustainability and most crucial the issue of human rights. The last issue is particularly critical since different states have different perspectives of what constitute human rights, and what rights should be given priority on different levels of the country’s development. The main point of the article is to look at historical events and socio-cultural conditions that shape the Chine Government’s (and many citizens’) reaction to the 2010 award. This is placed in the context of the widening income differences emerging in the modern political economy of China and how these may affect the growth of civil society. The critical question is: will the reward contribute to promotion of civil society or will it lead to increased crackdown on dissident voices.
