        @WSJ The real answer is probably that when it first started it did. Boom = people who were not serious entered the game.

        @WSJ NO! It never intended to and it never would. Poverty is a sum total of myriad factors, sort them all out and #People will #Flourish.

        @WSJ These are short term studies- and have serious limitations of external validity. Let's not generalise.

        @WSJ IMHO,poverty is more than the absence of money or resources.It is also a mindset.And,to help the needy,we need to attend that too.

        @WSJ Most businesses fail whether funded by Wall Street venture capitalists or micro lenders. Supply and demand even affects the poor!
