Savings and insurance associations are widespread not only in Ethiopia but also in its diaspora, even in countries with diversified and comprehensive formal financial institutions. The contributors to this volume give an extensive overview of these associations in Ethiopia and its diaspora and, at the same time, ask what the activities within these associations tell us about their members' future aspirations and ideas of a »good life«.

Kim Glück (PhD) is a social anthropologist specialising in Ethiopian studies based at the Frobenius Institute, Frankfurt, Germany.
