Billions of government dollars, and thousands of charitable organizations and NGOs, are dedicated to helping the world's poor. But much of their work is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, harmful misperceptions at worst.
Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Action Lab, is being carried out in dozens of countries. Drawing on this and their 15 years of research from Chile to India, Kenya to Indonesia, they have identified wholly new aspects of the behavior of poor people, their needs, and the way that aid or financial investment can affect their lives. Their work defies certain presumptions: that microfinance is a cure-all, that schooling equals learning, that poverty at the level of 99 cents a day is just a more extreme version of the experience any of us have when our income falls uncomfortably low.
This important book illuminates how the poor live, and offers all of us an opportunity to think of a world beyond poverty.

評分Poor Economics 的标题双关了本书的要点:首先,这是一本关于穷人(the poor)的经济学著作:关于他们的约束、困境、动机以及选择;其次,这是一本有关贫穷的经济学著作:贫困的原因,以及我们如何对抗贫困。 作者质疑了大众或者说学者与政策制定者对待“穷人”脱离实际的刻板...
評分《贫穷的本质》,本来是我推荐给朋友的一本书,自己还没看,结果她看了以后回头和我说真的很不错,反而促使我很快地看完了。应该说对于政府扶贫办主任绝对是很有帮助的一本书,因为作者通过连续15年对印度1美元以下的贫民的观察和研究,深入了解他们的动机和局限性,最后...
評分【本想花一个小时翻一下,因为书名关系人的切身利益,花了更多时间摘录和发挥一下。整本书沿袭了老美畅销书的风格,很水,但也有一些道理值得学习。书中的贫穷多指的印度,非洲等赤贫的人们,但道理并不仅限于此】 从国家层面讲,贫穷是最大的人才浪费。无数人的潜能被贫困浪...
評分非常好。
评分A very accessible book about development economics, and of economics in general. Also provides useful tips on our own lives, albeit perhaps unintentionally.

评分瞭解貧窮最好的入門書
评分發人深省,窮人脫離貧睏綫需要與周遭事物進行漫長地鬥爭。這其中既有主觀意識能動性地缺乏,又有製度的不平衡。而我們能所作的,是用極度的耐心與細心,切身實際的製定法規,與時間,與人的意識糅閤。脫貧緻富,想來這件事還是需從長計議啊!
