The Poor are not Aliens!!!!

I request everyone to go through this article. Simple ideas that don't germinate in minds that are in power, perhaps because our education clogs our brainy cells!


Book: Poor Economics: Rethinking Poverty and the Ways to End It- Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee & Esther Duflo 

Article: http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-11-25/news/30440949_1_comic-book-calcutta-nutrition

It talks about how the world's rich people think that the world's poor people are just hungry and want nutrients. The book talks about how the powerful people and the not so powerful people view the world through cliches...and how this viewpoint will lead to nothing substantive....
