| Summary/Abstract |
A journey into the incredibly multi-fceted and complex economic lives of the poor. Offers a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty and a number of practical suggestions.
Draws upon a rich varied body of evidence to show why the poor are poor, why they need to borrow in order to save, why their children do not learn even while they go to school and so on.
The book argues that much of economics for the poor has failed because of a failure to understand poverty.
