Enterprise Development and Microfinance Announcement

Enterprise Development and Microfinance journal has now been published for 20 years! To celebrate the fact, we invited some well known names to give us their ideas of either the major achievements of the last 10 years, or their predictions for the next 10. We also had some great entries from newer voices. The winning entry for the short contributions was from Chuck Waterfield and Larry Reed who write about safety for savers and investors in the wake of the credit crunch.
