Review
"Microenterprise development programs have proliferated in the 1990s. As Servon brilliantly guides us through the complexities of assistance programs, the deeper issue--what works for whom--becomes clear. This pathbreaking study explains both the limitations of microenterprise and its important potential for helping many Americans to cope more successfully in today's dynamic economy." —Tim Bates, Wayne State University
