A revolutionary approach to poverty that takes human
irrationality into account-and unlocks the mystery of making
philanthropic spending really work.
American individuals and institutions spent billions of dollars
to ease global poverty and accomplished almost nothing. At last we
have a realistic way forward. Presenting innovative and successful
development interventions around the globe, Dean Karlan and Jacob
Appel show how empirical analysis coupled with the latest thinking
in behavioral economics can make a profound difference. From Kenya,
where teenagers reduced their risk of contracting AIDS by having
more unprotected sex with partners their own age, to Mexico, where
giving kids a one-dollar deworming pill boosted school attendance
better than paying their families to send them, "More Than Good
Intentions" reveals how to invest those billions far more
effectively and begin transforming the well-being of the world.
