Summary, etc. "Billions of government dollars, and thousand of charitable organizations and NGOs, are dedicated to helping the words 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 controlled trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Actions Lab at MIT, is being carried out in dozens of country. Their work transform certain presumptions: the micro finance is a cure-all, the 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 been 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" --Provided by publisher.
