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.

評分通過案例中的數據對比分析說明,窮人怎樣利用手中有限的資源和為什麼有時候援助沒成效。 1.貧窮陷阱。當收入低於一定水平時,窮人沒錢去獲取信息,例如買報紙。那麼窮人將很難瞭解到一些常識,根據常識去做齣正確的判斷。2.越窮說明資源越有限,那麼作齣正確的判斷就更加重要,...
評分一、窮人缺乏有效的避險工具 1. 窮人會生一堆孩子,但生孩子不是觀念落後,而是一種理性思考,因為窮人所在的國傢往往沒有社會保障體係,想規避養老和醫療風險,隻能依靠自己的子女,但是子女身上不確定性太多,或者早夭,或者關係不好,或者沒能力養老,窮人往往采取多生幾個...
評分2012年11月起,一個名叫《為什麼貧窮》的8集紀錄片在全球70多傢電視颱播齣(雖然中國大陸還沒有電視颱播齣,但你也可以在搜狐視頻中看到)。在紀錄片中,人們迴顧和探討瞭貧窮的曆史、貧窮與生死、貧窮與全球化、貧窮與教育等問題。當時間已經進入21世紀,物質文明得到空前發展...
評分很奇怪,為啥齣版商要翻譯成貧窮的本質。 標題黨的心態嗎?實在找不到可以吐槽更多的地方,隻能把翻譯拿齣來吐吐。 全文大約230頁左右,很小的一本冊子,但是探討瞭非常多的內容。 從教育,醫療,保險,藉貸,儲蓄,慈善,援助,人口,生育等等方麵進行瞭討論,通過詳盡的數據...
