Poor Economics: The Surprising Truth about Life on Less Than $1 a Day by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Ester Duflo

BATB score: 8.8/10 🙏

Salute to all the field studies, data-driven research, and real-life experiments that must have taken 5+ years to conclude into this thick insightful research book!

Best to: know that it's a research study on why the poor remains poor from one test hypothesis to another and another across developing countries via numerous rural schemes 👏 #nerdalert

Best for: capital shifters composing societal schemes to comprehend the roles of the three Is' - ignorance, ideology, and inertia - of poverty trap; or else whatever implemented would not stick

Best as: this quote “poverty is not just a lack of money; it is not having the capability to realize one’s full potential as a human being” is very powerful but yet the brilliant/selfless minds of the capable can not save the poor

Random thought: be grateful that we are utterly so damn blessed
