The fifth issue of Innovations: Technology|Governance|Globalization arrived in my mailbox today.  Simply put, get a copy.  As usual, editors Phil Auerswald and Iqbal Quadir - along with publisher Nick Sullivan (of You Can Hear Me Now fame) and senior editor Winthrop Carty, have assembled a set of articles by leading academics and practitioners of interest to those of us in the "base of the pyramid" community.

Entitled Microfinance 2.0: Technology and Services for Ascending Markets, the thick journal (221 pages) covers everything from patient capital to regulatory innovation and doesn't miss much in between.  (Disclaimer: I have an article, written with Al, Bill, Cory, and Julia, in this issue as well).

I'm just starting to read, so a review is forthcoming, but go ahead and start yourself.  Jaqueline Novogratz (Acumen Fund) has an article, as does Kiva's Matt Flannery and famed venture capitalist Vinod Khosla.  Best part -- most of the articles are freely available.

Let me know what you think about specific articles in the comment section (below).
