Can Entrepreneurship really Solve poverty?
Manage episode 517043625 series 3628731
We challenge the myth that entrepreneurship alone ends poverty and map a practical path that pairs human development with firm growth. From scarcity’s psychology to the three capitals and value chains, we offer a two-engine blueprint that turns hustle into real opportunity.
• poverty as absence of margin for error
• psychology of scarcity and self-efficacy
• three capitals: human, social, financial
• survival ventures versus growth orientation
• gazelles and job creation dynamics
• two engines: people foundations and scaling firms
• value chain linkages and fair market access
• redefining success as choice and opportunity
