The search for a development approach centered on people’s freedom and people’s participation, this paper argues, can be aided by a study of social capital. Such a study can help explain how people can be mobilized to participate in producing a collective good through voluntary joint action and cooperation with other sectors of society. In other words, a study of social capital formation is essential in shaping a freedom-centered, participatory development perspective.

History matters in microfinance
This text shows that microfinance is not a poor solution for poor countries, that savings-driven microfinance institutions in cooperative or community ownership are equally feasible in rural and urban areas, and that if properly regulated and supervised, they have great potential in poverty alleviation and development, both in rural and urban areas.
