I thought the point of Yunus's book/movement was that microloans were safe because people, on the whole, DID pay back the loans?

If I remember correctly it was set up in Bangladesh. You are correct people did pay back the loans but it required much higher interest rates e.g., 60%, due to small size of the loans and having to factor in those who wouldn't pay back.
