El libro que cambiará nuestra manera de pensar sobre la pobreza y lo que debemos hacer para aliviarla. ¿Cómo se vive con menos de un dólar al día? ¿Por qué los microcréditos resultan útiles pero no son el milagro que algunos esperaban? ¿Por qué los pobres dejan pasar las campañas de vacunación gratuita pero pagan por medicinas que a menudo no necesitan? ¿Por qué sus hijos pueden ir a la escuela año tras año y no aprender nada? ¿Por qué no siempre invierten en obtener más calorías, sino calorías que saben mejor? Nuestra tendencia a reducir a los pobres a un conjunto de clichés nos ha impedido hasta ahora comprender los problemas a los que se enfrentan a diario. Dado que poseen tan poco, hemos asumido que no hay nada de interés en su vida económica. Las políticas gubernamentales destinadas a ayudarles muchas veces fracasan porque se fundamentan en suposiciones erradas con respecto a sus circunstancias y su conducta. Repensar la pobreza supone un revolucionario giro en el modo de abordar la lucha global contra la pobreza. Sus autores, dos consagrados economistas del MIT, han acudido directamente a los protagonistas para comprender cómo funciona de verdad la economía de los pobres, cuáles son sus motivaciones y aspiraciones.

A partir de ahí, ofrece las respuestas y, con ellas, un gran potencial transformador y una guía esencial para políticos, activistas y cualquier persona preocupada por construir un mundo sin desigualdad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics upend the most common assumptions about how economics works in this gripping and disruptive portrait of how poor people actually live. Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs? In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two award-winning MIT professors, answer these questions based on years of field research from around the world. Called "marvelous, rewarding" by the Wall Street Journal, the book offers a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty and an intimate view of life on 99 cents a day. Poor Economics shows that creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the daily decisions facing the poor.

Reseñas: «Un libro maravillosamente lúcido sobre la naturaleza real de la pobreza.» Amartya Sen, Premio Nobel de Economía «El ensayo más interesante que he leído en mucho tiempo. Está lleno de sorpresas y va a cambiar nuestra manera de pensar sobre la pobreza y lo que se debe hacer para aliviarla.» Moisés Naím en «Lea este libro», El País «Este libro debe ser de lectura obligada para cualquier persona que se preocupe por la pobreza en el mundo. Representa lo mejor que la economía puede ofrecer.» Steven D. Levitt, autor de Freakonomics «Vayamos al grano: es el mejor libro que he leído sobre el tema.No hay truco. El enfoque es directo y honesto. Y algunas de las conclusiones son sorprendentes, incluso desconcertantes.» The Economist «Un logro profundo: reúne lo mejor de la nueva economía y de la antigua. Se han sumergido en el mundo que los rodea, negándose a aceptar la idea de que la economía es unamera extensión de las matemáticas.» David Leonhardt, The New York Times «Maravilloso. Han luchado por conquistar, con honestidad y rigor, un puesto de avanzada hacia la observación, el análisis y la complejidad en un mundo, el de la ayuda, que tiende a preferir los panfletos y las fotografías de famosos. Merecen ser felicitados y leídos.» William Easterly, The Wall Street Journal

Book excerpt: Es tentador afirmar que la pobreza es una enfermedad de las sociedades contemporáneas. Su carácter crónico y devastador, la dificultad para extirparla, los crueles daños que causa: todo justifica la metáfora. En las últimas décadas, con gran ingenio y precisión, Esther Duflo ha llevado esta analogía a un plano distinto, pues ha sabido adaptar la lógica de la experimentación médica al combate a la miseria, primero para entender cómo funciona y luego para plantear remedios. En este volumen analiza de entrada el debate entre quienes apuestan todo a la ayuda internacional y quienes, con cierto cinismo, prefieren creer que el mercado resolverá por sí solo este mal, y luego explora cuatro zonas delicadas que afectan a los más necesitados: la educación y sus promesas, la salud y sus costos, las microfinanzas y sus mitos, la corrupción y su lógica. Para la segunda mujer merecedora del Premio Nobel de Economía, esta disciplina debe ser rigurosa, imparcial y seria, una ciencia humana que actúe con generosidad, ambición y compromiso. Estas páginas son una visita guiada al cada vez más grande laboratorio de las evaluaciones aleatorizadas, esa original herramienta que sirve para diagnosticar y atender la pobreza.

Download or read book La pobreza en el mundo y los derechos humanos written by Thomas Pogge and published by Grupo Planeta (GBS). This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La parte mas pobre de la poblacion mundial, nada menos que el 46 %, solo posee el 1,2 % de la renta global. Su poder adquisitivo por persona y dia es insignificante. Y muchos de ellos ni siquiera tienen suficiente comida para sobrevivir. Un tercio de todas las muertes humanas son ocasionadas por causas relacionadas con la pobreza: dieciocho millones al ano, entre las que se incluyen las de doce millones de ninos menores de cinco anos. En el otro extremo, el 15 % de la humanidad perteneciente a las clases mas altas posee el 80 % de la renta global. Dedicar un uno o un dos por ciento de nuestra porcion a la erradicacion de la pobreza parece una obligacion moral. Aun asi, la prosperidad de los mas favorecidos esta provocando un crecimiento de la desigualdad global, aunque la mayoria de los ricos cree que no tiene responsabilidad alguna al respecto. El libro de Pogge pretende explicar por que se mantiene en pie esa creencia. Para ello, analiza la forma en que se han configurado nuestras teorias morales y economicas con el fin de que nos sintamos desvinculados de la pobreza absoluta que subsiste fuera de nuestras fronteras. Y, al disipar esa ilusion, tambien ofrece un criterio modesto y ampliamente compartible de la justicia economica global, elaborando propuestas detalladas y realistas capaces de satisfacerlo.

Book excerpt: Para entender la economía de los más desfavorecidos y luchar contra la pobreza, Duflo y Banerjee acudieron directamente a los protagonistas. Este es el relato apasionante, rompedor y visionario que les valió el Nobel. ¿Por qué compra una televisión quien no tiene suficiente para comer? Michael Kremer. ¿Qué lleva a los pobres a dejar pasar las campañas de vacunación gratuita y a pagar, en cambio, por medicinas que a menudo no necesitan? ¿A qué se debe que tiendan a comprar alimentos más sabrosos y caros, en lugar de más calóricos? ¿Por qué es tan difícil que los niños en zonas pobres aprendan, aunque asistan a la escuela? La tendencia a reducir a los pobres a un conjunto de clichés ha impedido comprender los problemas a los que se enfrentan a diario. Las políticas gubernamentales destinadas a ayudarles muchas veces fracasan porque se fundamentan en suposiciones erradas con respecto a sus circunstancias y su conducta. Este libro es un replanteamiento de la economía de la pobreza que ofrece a su vez un buen número de soluciones y sugerencias. Mediante una ostensible recopilación de pruebas y datos, Duflo yBanerjee muestran por qué los pobres, compartiendo los deseos y habilidades de cualquiera, se ven inmersos en bucles irresolubles. El revolucionario planteamiento de este libro empieza por cambiar las preguntas. Las respuestas, resultado de sus observaciones, contradicen muchas de nuestras creencias más arraigadas. Repensar la pobreza tiene un gran potencial transformador y es una guía esencial para políticos, activistas y cualquier persona preocupada por construir un mundo sin desigualdad.

Download or read book Vivir Bien as an Alternative to Neoliberal Globalization written by Eija Ranta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting an ethnographic account of the emergence and application of critical political alternatives in the Global South, this book analyses the opportunities and challenges of decolonizing and transforming a modern, hierarchical and globally-immersed nation-state on the basis of indigenous terminologies. Alternative development paradigms that represent values including justice, pluralism, democracy and a sustainable relationship to nature tend to emerge in response to – and often opposed to – the neoliberal globalization. Through a focus on the empirical case of the notion of Vivir Bien (‘Living Well’) as a critical cultural and ecological paradigm, Ranta demonstrates how indigeneity – indigenous peoples’ discourses, cultural ideas and worldviews – has become such a denominator in the construction of local political and policy alternatives. More widely, the author seeks to map conditions for, and the challenges of, radical political projects that aim to counteract neoliberal globalization and Western hegemony in defining development. This book will appeal to critical academic scholars, development practitioners and social activists aiming to come to grips with the complexity of processes of progressive social change in our contemporary global world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anchored in the principles of the free-market economics, 'neoliberalism' has been associated with such different political leaders as Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Augusto Pinochet, and Junichiro Koizumi. In its heyday during the late 1990s, neoliberalism emerged as the world's dominant economic paradigm stretching from the Anglo-American heartlands of capitalism to the former communist bloc all the way to the developing regions of the global South. At the dawn of the new century, however, neoliberalism has been discredited as the global economy, built on its principles, has been shaken to its core by a financial calamity not seen since the dark years of the 1930s. So is neoliberalism doomed or will it regain its former glory? Will reform-minded G-20 leaders embark on a genuine new course or try to claw their way back to the neoliberal glory days of the Roaring Nineties? Is there a viable alternative to neoliberalism? Exploring the origins, core claims, and considerable variations of neoliberalism, this Very Short Introduction offers a concise and accessible introduction to one of the most debated 'isms' of our time. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Download or read book Making Aid Work written by Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-03-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An encouraging account of the potential of foreign aid to reduce poverty and a challenge to all aid organizations to think harder about how they spend their money. With more than a billion people now living on less than a dollar a day, and with eight million dying each year because they are simply too poor to live, most would agree that the problem of global poverty is our greatest moral challenge. The large and pressing practical question is how best to address that challenge. Although millions of dollars flow to poor countries, the results are often disappointing. In Making Aid Work, Abhijit Banerjee—an "aid optimist"—argues that aid has much to contribute, but the lack of analysis about which programs really work causes considerable waste and inefficiency, which in turn fuels unwarranted pessimism about the role of aid in fostering economic development. Banerjee challenges aid donors to do better. Building on the model used to evaluate new drugs before they come on the market, he argues that donors should assess programs with field experiments using randomized trials. In fact, he writes, given the number of such experiments already undertaken, current levels of development assistance could focus entirely on programs with proven records of success in experimental conditions. Responding to his challenge, leaders in the field—including Nicholas Stern, Raymond Offenheiser, Alice Amsden, Ruth Levine, Angus Deaton, and others—question whether randomized trials are the most appropriate way to evaluate success for all programs. They raise broader questions as well, about the importance of aid for economic development and about the kinds of interventions (micro or macro, political or economic) that will lead to real improvements in the lives of poor people around the world. With one in every six people now living in extreme poverty, getting it right is crucial.

Download or read book China’s Belt and Road Vision written by S. Mahmud Ali and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution and major elements of China’s Belt-and-Road Initiative (BRI), a trillion-dollar project for the revival and refinement of ancient terrestrial and maritime trade routes. The author analyses the foreign policy and economic strategy behind the initiative as well as the geoeconomic and geopolitical impact on the region. Furthermore, he assesses whether the BRI has to be considered as a challenge to the US-led order, leading to a Sinocentric order in the 21st century. Offering two case studies on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR), the book reveals the drivers motivating China and its partners in executing BRI projects, such as security of commodity-shipments, energy supplies, and explores trade volumes as well as the anxiety these trigger among critics. The book juxtaposes these to non-Chinese, specifically multilateral institutional and Western corporate, inputs into Beijing’s developmental planning-processes. It also identifies the role of combined Chinese-foreign stimuli in generating the policy priorities precipitating the BRI vision, and the geoeconomic essence of BRI’s implementation.
