Poor Economics is a book by economists Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, which challenges conventional assumptions about global poverty and offers new insights into how to fight it. Based on the authors' years of research and fieldwork, the book explores the lives of the poor and the policies that affect them.
Banerjee and Duflo argue that poverty is not caused by a lack of effort or ability, but rather by systemic barriers that prevent people from achieving their potential. They examine the impact of education, healthcare, and financial services on poverty, and present evidence-based solutions that can help lift people out of poverty.
The book is written in an accessible and engaging style, and includes real-world examples and case studies from around the world. It is an important and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in understanding and addressing the global issue of poverty.
