"Billions of government dollars, and thousands of charitable organizations and NGOs, are dedicated to helping the world's poor. But much of the work they do is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, flat out harmful misperceptions at worst. Banerjee and Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Action Lab at MIT, is being carried out in dozens of countries. Their work transforms certain presumptions: that microfinance is a cure-all, that schooling equals learning, that poverty at the level of 99 cents a day is just a more extreme version of the experience any of us have when our income falls uncomfortably low. Throughout, the authors emphasize that life for the poor is simply not like life for everyone else: it is a much more perilous adventure, denied many of the cushions and advantages that are routinely provided to the more affluent"--

Billions of government dollars, and thousands of charitable organizations and NGOs, are dedicated to helping the world's poor. But much of their work is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, harmful misperceptions at worst. Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Action Lab, is being carried out in dozens of countries. Drawing on this and their 15 years of research from Chile to India, Kenya to Indonesia, they have identified wholly new aspects of the behavior of poor people, their needs, and the way that aid or financial investment can affect their lives. Their work defies certain presumptions: that microfinance is a cure-all, that schooling equals learning, that poverty at the level of 99 cents a day is just a more extreme version of the experience any of us have when our income falls uncomfortably low. This important book illuminates how the poor live, and offers all of us an opportunity to think of a world beyond poverty.

Face aux inégalités qui explosent, aux désastres politiques et aux catastrophes environnementales qui menacent de toutes parts, cet ouvrage montre que tout n’est pas perdu. Si des choix de politiques publiques nous ont menés où nous sommes, rien n’empêche d’en faire d’autres. À condition de dresser, d’abord, un constat honnête. Ces pages traquent les fausses évidences sur toutes les questions les plus pressantes : immigration, libre-échange, croissance, inégalités, changement climatique. Elles montrent où et quand les économistes ont échoué, aveuglés par l’idéologie.Mais l’ouvrage ne fait pas que renverser les idées reçues. Il répond à l’urgence de temps troublés en offrant un panel d’alternatives aux politiques actuelles. Une bonne science économique peut faire beaucoup. Appuyée sur les dernières avancées de la recherche, sur des expériences et des données fiables, elle est un levier pour bâtir un monde plus juste et plus humain.
