Abstract (English):: This contribution assesses the shift in the mission of microfinance, from small loans for entrepreneurs to financial inclusion. Three leading organisations' publications inform a discourse analysis which allows the strategic shift in microfinance to be understood using the perspectives of rationalism and institutionalism. The proclaimed shift in strategy is revealed as consisting less of rational innovation toward the aim of poverty reduction than of 'myth and ceremony' in the interest of organizational self-preservation.
