Der Beseitigung von Armut in den Entwicklungsländern und Schwellenländern sollte zukünftig mehr Beduetung beigemessen werden. Die Beseitigung der Armut sollte strukturiert unter Einsatz moderner Konzepte und Ideen erfolgen. Das Base of Pyramid Konzept von Prahalad ist eine gute Basis hierfür. Der einseitige Einsatz von sogenannten Mikrokrediten hat bisher keine nachhaltigen Erfolge bei der Beseitigung von Armut gebracht.Rund 4 Milliarden Mesnchen in unterschiedlichen Ländern dieser Erde werden als "arm" klassifiziert. Das sind über 50% der Weltbevölkerung. Die finanzielle Unterstützung der Armen soll nicht einseitig Konsum zugunsten MNC (Mulitnational Companies) und deren Profit unterstützen, sondern vielmehr die Integration der Armen in die Wertschöpfungskette ermöglichen. Unternehmen können mit CSR Projekten Arme als "new base of pyramid entreprenieurs" fördern und in deren Prozesse mit einbinden. CRS kann mit crowdfunding und Crowdinvesting bzw. Crowdbankung kombiniert werden, um somit eine Optimierung der Beseitigung der Armut zu ermöglichen. Das bisherige System der Mikrokredite hat weitestgehend versagt und zu einer neuen Finanzierungsblase geführt. Damit hat einmal mehr der typische Finanzsektor ein Stück seiner Existenzberechtigung eingebüßt. Wie das Base dieser Aufsatz.
