Bringing small business development to urban neighborhoods

Article Abstract:

A tax incremental credit structured to promote the sharing of knowledge and capital between small business owners and inner city minorities can aid in urban renewal. The credit would not cost anything, as it would be offset by the new revenue base of the start-up business. The mentor, the small business loaning capital and information, would save, while the inner city start-up would have recourse to new skills and necessary capital. The credit would need to be supplemented with some type of education for the protegee.

Welfare reform at the limit: the futility of "ending welfare as we know it."(Economic Justice in America's Cities: Visions and Revisions of a Movement)

Article Abstract:

Welfare reform proposals posited by the Clinton administration and Republicans in Congress are not truly reform-oriented, but merely present a new wording of the static paradigm surrounding welfare and poverty in America. A such, no reform can be hoped for as long as this paradigm dominates. The paradigm holds that nonproductivity can be discriminated against and that the productive members of society will support the non-productive only when the risks of ignoring them grow too large.
