ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Poor Economics by Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo delves into the complexities of global poverty, challenging conventional wisdom with rigorous research. The authors explore the daily lives and decisions of the poor, examining topics such as hunger and nutrition, health, education, family size, access to finance, and the effectiveness of aid. Rather than offering broad generalizations, the book investigates specific interventions and policies through careful analysis and real-world examples. It questions the underlying assumptions in poverty reduction efforts and seeks nuanced, evidence-based answers to improve the lives of the world's poorest populations.
