POOR ECONOMICS By ABHIJIT V. BANERJEE & ESTHER DUFLO

Poor Economics: Rethinking Poverty and the Ways to End It by Abhijit V. Banerjee & Esther Duflo is an award-winning bestseller by Nobel Prize-winning economists that challenges conventional ideas about poverty and economic development. Based on years of groundbreaking field research across developing countries, the authors examine how poor people make decisions about education, healthcare, savings, entrepreneurship, and daily life, revealing why many traditional anti-poverty policies fail and what truly works.

Using real-world case studies, data-driven research, and practical insights, Banerjee and Duflo demonstrate that effective solutions to poverty require understanding the everyday choices and challenges faced by individuals rather than relying on broad assumptions. The book provides a fresh perspective on global development, public policy, financial inclusion, and economic behavior, making it an essential read for students, policymakers, economists, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in creating meaningful social change.
