自打贫穷一出现,我们就产生了某种以约定俗成的方式来贬低穷人的冲动。他们被描述的有时懒惰、有时上进、有时高尚、有时鬼祟、有时愤怒、有时顺从、有时无助、有时自强。而实质上,这些对他们的看法无助于帮助那些处于贫穷状态下的普通男女实现希望、消除疑惑、弥补不足、满足...
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【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...
评分 评分这本书,我读的很慢,在读的过程中,也不断转换地点。 从深圳机场,到上海,从上海到绍兴的火车上,绍兴,最终读完,是在兰亭曲水流觞亭。 那段时间游人不多,也不吵嚷,我得以在安静的环境也,读完。 读完,心情沉重。 这不是一本读起来舒服的书,但是,有用。 揭示真相、...

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.

Time inconsistency
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A very accessible book about development economics, and of economics in general. Also provides useful tips on our own lives, albeit perhaps unintentionally.
