Poor Economics for Kids

Join us for the official launch of Nobel Prize winner Esther Duflo’s new book series, “Poor Economics for Kids,” addressing critical themes of poverty through the eyes of children.

In collaboration with illustrator Cheyenne Olivier, Nobel Prize-winning economist Esther Duflo introduces a captivating series designed to empower young minds and initiate important conversations about inequality. This conversation will be moderated by Paro Anand.

Book Description:

Nilou lives in a village. She and her friends are just like you – they don’t like going to school and they love playing on tablets – but many of her experiences aren’t like yours.

The pharmacy nearby doesn’t have all the medicines they need; during a flood, some of her friends lose their homes, and when her favorite cousin can’t find work in the village, he has to go to the city to make a living.

In this fun, smart, and beautifully illustrated book, Esther Duflo and Cheyenne Olivier weave a series of delightful stories that will open your eyes to the world around you.
