The microenterprise strategy - helping people start small businesses - has generated attention among policymakers and the media as a way to create jobs and help lift people out of poverty. Through extensive interviews and case studies of five diverse microenterprise programmes in different US regions, the author examines the potential and limits of the strategy.
