具体描述

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.

读后感

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...

这本书读的很沉重,很多事当你要拨开重重迷雾,企图看到本质的时候,过程总是异常的残忍。不知为什么联想起了张纯如的自杀,现实太过残酷。作者试图通过对各个方面的剖析来告诉我们贫穷是如何造成的,从穷人自身、教育、生育、环境、政治、体质等方面出发,读来实在无法感觉轻...  

评分

Poor Economics 的标题双关了本书的要点:首先,这是一本关于穷人(the poor)的经济学著作:关于他们的约束、困境、动机以及选择;其次,这是一本有关贫穷的经济学著作:贫困的原因,以及我们如何对抗贫困。 作者质疑了大众或者说学者与政策制定者对待“穷人”脱离实际的刻板...

《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...

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,...

其实我觉得经济学这种东西,大多数时候理论只是理论。

比之前看的Dead Aid更全面,对援助悲观主义者和乐观主义者的两类主张都有回应。作者的风格特别平实,态度很务实,反复强调之前的学者没有数据说个毛线,极端案例不能作为大众的代表。全书主要是帮助理解穷人做决策的逻辑,表示穷人的决策虽然可能不正确但都是理性的决策。要全面理解穷人的生活状态,把援助要送到刀口上才有用。然后我最近越来越觉得UN好假大空啊怎么办。
