评分通过案例中的数据对比分析说明,穷人怎样利用手中有限的资源和为什么有时候援助没成效。 1.贫穷陷阱。当收入低于一定水平时,穷人没钱去获取信息,例如买报纸。那么穷人将很难了解到一些常识,根据常识去做出正确的判断。2.越穷说明资源越有限,那么作出正确的判断就更加重要,...
评分现代城市最大的阴影,莫过于触目惊心的贫穷现象。 《金融时报》曾经做过一期关于贫民窟的专题,封面照片选择了里约热内卢(巴西的前首都),贫民窟占据了整个山坡,犹如一幅巨大的破布。 消除贫穷,这不仅是一个道德问题,更是关乎城市发展的神话是否可持续的问题。自从城市...
评分《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...

Winner of the 2011 Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Best Business Book of the Year Award
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.

其实我觉得经济学这种东西,大多数时候理论只是理论。
评分Attend to the details, and learn how people make decisions. That's the most useful lesson I learnt from this book.
评分Rigorously empirical and very inspirational. Could even be used as a guideline on 'making your academic research understandable to common people'. J-PAL sounds incredibly appealing now. | 一个月之后就到JPAL工作了 人生如梦啊盆友们
评分A better piece as a life-style reading than most life-style books themselves - think of your daily choices as investments.
评分由宏大叙事堆砌起来的悲观主义,是智识与职业上的屈服和妥协;由big word包装起来的深刻性,更是一种不费力气的懒惰和肤浅。惨淡经营的比较研究,针对具体问题的实证分析,不辞劳苦的田野调查,本书作者所倡导和实践的这些治学态度与方法,正是我在之后的会计学习中最为需要的。切忌空谈义理,这很重要。
