Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free
life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs? In "Poor
Economics," Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two practical
visionaries working toward ending world poverty, answer these
questions from the ground. In a book the "Wall Street Journal"
called "marvelous, rewarding," the authors tell how the stress of
living on less than 99 cents per day encourages the poor to make
questionable decisions that feed--not fight--poverty. The result is
a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty that offers a
ringside view of the lives of the world''s poorest, and shows that
creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the
daily decisions facing the poor.
