邦訳：2012年4月・みすず書房Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo are the 2019 Nobel Laureates in Economics. New in paperback. Hardcover, published in 2011, is out of print. Awarded the 2011 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year. Drawing on research from Chile to India, Kenya to Indonesia, the book has identified wholly new aspects of the behavior of poor people, their needs, and the way that aid or financial investment can affect their lives. It 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.
