What You'll Learn:
Banerjee and Duflo aren’t your average economists. These MIT professors spend time with the poor about whom they write, in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In a time of political polarization across the world, they want to talk about economics in ways that don’t often get voiced in the mainstream.
Key Insights:
- America will not be great again (nor will any country) unless we make economics great again.
- Media frenzies obscure the fact that global migration rates are the same now as they were 60 years ago.
- It’s the jaws of the shark that usually make people leave their homeland—not financial ambition.
- Universal Basic Income is a more promising option for developing countries than developed ones.
