" Poor Economics" ,
new highly relevant guide in a world where problems of inequality are becoming overriding, the book has the potential for the greatest impact as described by the judges who choose this book as
the 2011 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year.
Written by co-authors Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two MIT professors who are part of a group known as Randomistas,
this book has stirred up controversy. Its evidence-based approach is being seen as a method to bridge the gap between the two sides of development over the value of aid. Opening questions on how to measure the impacts of interventions, the book provides a real basis for innovation in policy and innovation in government.
Copies of news coverage and reviews will be available in addition to a few copies of the book.
