Poor Economics: A Radical Rethinking of the Way to Fight Global Poverty by Abhijit V. BanerjeeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I wouldn't call this "A Radical Rethinking", but there were some refreshing points of view and ideas. There are some interesting examples of how people in poor communities act rationally, or don't, or seemingly don't but in actuality are very rational. In other words they act much like other people, just in very different circumstances. And they are, in fact, responsible for much more in their own lives (sanitizing their own water, finding every meal and ensuring it is safe, etc. etc.).
A very interesting read with useful conclusions.
