Microbusiness and the Human Economy (March 2009)
|
Abstract: The U.S. economy has been in a certain growth trajectory for generations, and the stewards of that economy consider that growth is the overarching goal. But growth is only one way of achieving what is the real goal of any economy: meeting the material needs of humans. When growth becomes the goal rather than meeting the needs of humans, the result can be catastrophic as we have seen. Meanwhile, microbusinesses have quietly been creating the rules and infrastructure of the 21st century economy and everything about it is the antithesis of the dysfunctional business landscape that caused the economic collapse of 2008.

2005: The Year in Microbusiness Policy (December 2005)
|
Abstract: President George W. Bush swept back into office in January 2005 convinced that he had the mandate he needed to tackle some huge issues he had tagged for reform, such as Social Security and income taxes. Sadly for him, a host of other stuff got in the way, from the Iraq war to high profile indictments to particularly nasty hurricanes. As far as small business policy in general, and microbusiness policy in particular, the best way to describe the first session of the 109th Congress is out to lunch.

The Microbusiness Way of Growth (June 2005)
|
Abstract: The dawn of the Knowledge Economy has brought about significant changes in the mechanics of small business startup and growth. The desire simply and solely to amass wealth has taken a back seat to such qualitative motivators as flexiblity, self-determination and the freedom to find joy and meaning in work. Meanwhile, microbusinesses are innovating new operational efficiencies that allow revenue growth without significant increase in expenditure.

2004: The Year in Microbusiness Policy (December 2004)
|
Abstract: The second session of the 108th Congress is probably not destined to be recorded by historians as one of the legislature's more productive periods. As far as small business specific legislative proposals go, two agenda items were center-stage for most of the year: the SBA's budget for fiscal 2005 and the much-delayed SBA re-authorization. This report is the annual year-end follow-up on all the Capitol Hill reporting from the MicroEnterprise Journal during 2004.

The Entrepreneurial Economy (October 2004)
|
Abstract: For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, technology and innovation have combined to change the very meaning and nature of "work." Large corporations have grown more inclined to use contracting and partnering to manage the value chain, while firm size data suggests that small businesses are trending smaller. This combination of trends suggest that the future engine of "job creation" may turn out to be self-employment.
