520 _a"Poor Economics," co-authored by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, offers a detailed look into the lives of the world's poor and challenges traditional approaches to poverty alleviation. The book emphasizes a data-driven, nuanced understanding of poverty, grounded in the realities faced by those living in poverty, rather than broad generalizations or grand development plans. "Poor Economics" is an optimistic book that suggests that with a better understanding of the lives of the poor and a more rigorous approach to development, significant progress can be made in reducing poverty. It encourages a move away from broad generalizations and towards solutions tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of those living in poverty.
