Abhijit Banerjee is a renowned sustainable development economist whose life work has focused on alleviating global poverty. In this keynote lecture by co-winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics, Abhijit Banerjee, he will answer interesting questions such as:

· Why do the poor borrow to save?
· Why do they miss out on free life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs?
· Why do children in poor areas have so much difficulty learning even when they attend school?

Drawing on his best-selling book written with his wife and translated into 17 languages, in addition to more than fifteen years of research in dozens of poor countries around the world, Abhijit Banerjee will address the specific problems that come with poverty and offer proved solutions. Duflo and Banerjee argue that too many anti-poverty policies have failed due to a poor understanding of poverty. With an optimistic final message that poverty can be eradicated from our world, Professor Banerjee will transform your way of thinking about poverty and help your audience fight to build a better world without it.
