The Economics of Poverty: A Revolutionary Perspective
Why do billions in aid and decades of effort fail to eliminate global poverty? MIT economists Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo challenge conventional wisdom with evidence from 15 years of groundbreaking research across five continents. Their work, which earned them the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics, reveals the sophisticated economic lives of those living on less than $1 per day. Through vivid stories and rigorous experiments, they show how small, targeted interventions can create enormous impacts. What makes their approach revolutionary is their rejection of grand theories in favor of understanding specific challenges faced by real people. They don't ask whether aid works or fails broadly-they investigate which interventions work, why, and how they can be improved. By examining the economic lives of the poor with scientific precision and human empathy, they uncover surprising insights that overturn conventional wisdom about poverty.
