FROM THE WINNERS OF THE 2019 NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS'Refreshingly original, wonderfully insightful . . .an entirely new perspective' GuardianWhy would a man in Morocco who doesn't have enough to eat buy a television?Why do the poorest people in India spend 7 percent of their food budget on sugar?Does having lots of children actually make you poorer?This eye-opening book overturns the myths about what it is like to live on very little, revealing the unexpected decisions that millions of people make every day.
