Poor Economics - Abhijit V. Banerjee
Description
Poor Economics: The Surprising Truth about Life on Less Than $1 a Day by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo
In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo challenge common assumptions about poverty. Drawing on years of field research and randomized trials across developing countries, they examine how people living on very low incomes make decisions about health, education, savings, and work.
Instead of broad theories, the authors focus on real evidence and practical solutions that can actually reduce poverty. This book reshapes how we think about development, aid, and economic policy. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
