穷人经济学,很有意思的一本书。
Authors: Banerjee and Duflo
Publication Date: March 27, 2012
简介如下:
Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs? In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two practical visionaries working toward ending world poverty, answer these questions from the ground. In a book the Wall Street Journal called “marvelous, rewarding,” the authors tell how the stress of living on less than 99 cents per day encourages the poor to make questionable decisions that feed—not fight—poverty. The result is a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty that offers a ringside view of the lives of the world’s poorest, and shows that creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the daily decisions facing the poor.
论坛之前有过讨论(https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-1266266-1-1.html),不过应该还没有电子版。该文件为epub格式,可能需要下载相应的阅读器,或者转化为其他常见格式。
p.s. 本书中文版已经由中信出版,中文名为“贫穷的本质:我们为什么摆脱不了贫穷”。没有读过,翻译的如何不好说,不过书名的翻译有点儿不知莫名其妙。。。
