How does a book titled Poor Economics written by two very (lets say) left-leaning authors find their place as the Goldman Sach’s Business Book of the Year? Finished with this piece, an ideal starter pack on comprehending world poverty. However there aren’t any generalist theories that can bring the entire 99 cents per day population under one umbrella of economics and public policy, and this book doesn’t try to find those as well. It is more or less a comprehensive manuscript that covers data and research taken from almost half the globe over decades of sustained efforts of understanding the granularities of the socio-economic dynamics at play relevant to poverty and related issues. A major blow to many stereotypes yet never going out of logic.
