Discipline, abjection, and poverty alleviation through entrepreneurship: A constitutive perspective

Author

Listed:
  • Castellanza, Luca

Collective entrepreneurship has been found to alleviate extreme poverty by helping poor individuals integrate into their societies and overcome their multiple intertwined liabilities. We complement this line of inquiry by exploring the conditions under which group structures may instead reinforce economic and gendered poverty constraints.
