145 kr
Skickas
FULLY UPDATED EDITION WITH TWO NEW CHAPTERS From the winners of the 2019 Nobel Prize in EconomicsWhy would a man in Morocco who doesn't have enough to eat buy a television?Why do the poorest people in India spend 7 percent of their food budget on sugar?Does having lots of children actually make you poorer?This eye-opening book overturns the myths about what it is like to live on very little, revealing the unexpected decisions that millions of people make every day. Looking at some of the most paradoxical aspects of life below the poverty line - why the poor need to borrow in order to save, why incentives that seem effective to us may not be for them, and why, despite being more risk-taking than high financiers, they start businesses but rarely grow them - Banerjee and Duflo offer a new understanding of the surprising way the world really works.Winner of the FT Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award 2011 'Refreshingly original, wonderfully insightful . . . an entirely new perspective' Guardian

In this new edition of their classic work, the winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics upend the most common assumptions about how economics works, providing a “rich and humane” (Financial Times) examination of how poor people actually live Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free lifesaving immunizations but pay for unnecessary drugs? Why do children from poor families attend school but fail to learn anything? In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two Nobel Prize–winning MIT professors, answer these questions based on years of field research from around the world. Together, they investigate what the lives and choices of the poor tell us about how to fight global poverty, from why microfinance is useful without being the miracle some hoped it would be to why the poor don’t want health insurance. Throughout, they reveal that even as many magic bullets of yesterday have ended up as today’s failed ideas, there is a path forward through this challenge. Updated with significant new material based on insights from the last decade of research, Poor Economics is a radical and hopeful rethinking of the economics of poverty and an intimate view of the life of the poor around the world.

Brought to you by Penguin. Two prize-winning economists show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today''s critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalisation and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change - these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there - what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary audiobook, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times, read by James Lurie, makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.© Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo 2019 (P) Penguin Audio 2019

‘Phenomenal...the best book ever written on climate change’ Cass R. SunsteinWhy does a fisherman in Dakar work even longer hours when temperatures rise?What makes extreme heat in Seattle fifteen times more deadly than in Houston?Why can’t Indigenous communities in Brazil get the help they desperately need?The lives of the world’s poorest are already harder, hotter and shorter, with much of it due to the actions of the world’s wealthiest. But just as the rich world’s emissions are finally falling, those from poorer countries are set to increase drastically. We seem to be caught in an impossible bind, but it’s not too late to find a way out.Just Economics proposes a radical new approach, arguing that progress is possible if the wealthiest countries compensate the poorest for the continuing harm and, in exchange, poorer countries reduce their emissions. Drawing on meticulous original research and years of fieldwork around the world, witnessing the impact of climate change on those most affected, Banerjee, Duflo and Greenstone quantify the damage inflicted on the poor and calculate how we could fund such an ambitious plan. They show how their grand bargain adds up and why it will work. That we can protect the poor while protecting our future. It’s just economics.
