Banerjee and Esther Duflo, written for readers interested in development policy, poverty research, and applied economics. Drawing on fieldwork in many low-income countries, the book questions the idea that poverty can be understood through broad assumptions or ideological slogans. Instead, it examines how poor households actually make decisions about health, education, savings, borrowing, work, and family life under severe constraints. The authors use randomized controlled trials and other empirical methods to test what interventions really improve outcomes. Rather than offering a single grand theory, the book argues for careful, local, evidence-based action. Its purpose is both analytical and practical: to explain why many anti-poverty policies fail, and to show how policy can become more effective when it is built around the daily realities of poor people.
