Book launches and talks on Poor Economics for Kids
You are invited to a series of official launch events across India for Esther Duflo’s new book series, “Poor Economics for Kids,” addressing critical themes of poverty through the eyes of children. Collaborating 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.
In today’s increasingly unequal world, this book plays a crucial role in shaping values and perspectives. By exploring topics such as education, healthcare, employment, environment, and entrepreneurship, Duflo’s series encourages children to engage thoughtfully and parents to discuss complex issues surrounding poverty in straightforward terms.
Join us for these landmark events where Esther Duflo will unveil the series in multiple languages including English (published by Juggernaut) and regional languages like Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Marathi (published by Pratham Books). This launch aims to dismantle stereotypes and foster empathy towards poverty, making it an essential resource for families and educators alike.
Esther Duflo is the Abdul Latif Jameel Professor of Poverty Alleviation and Development Economics in the Department of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a co-founder and co-director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL). In her research, she seeks to understand the economic lives of the poor, with the aim to help design and evaluate social policies. She has worked on health, education, financial inclusion, environment and governance.
Cheyenne Olivier is a French illustrator. She graduated from the Estienne Arts and Design School in Paris and the Decorative Arts School in Strasbourg, where she earned an MFA in Illustration. Her images, characterized by their geometric and playful nature, often center around the visual representation of social and environmental issues.
Copies of the books will be available for purchase at the event, allowing you to take home these insightful stories and continue the journey of understanding and compassion with Esther Duflo.
