About this book

Poor Economics: Rethinking Poverty by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo is a groundbreaking book that challenges common assumptions about poverty and offers a fresh perspective on how to fight global poverty. Based on years of field research from around the world, the authors answer critical questions: Why do the poor borrow to save?

The book provides an intimate view of life at 99 cents a day and shows that creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the daily decisions facing the poor.
