About the book
An innovative and revealing study of how low-income families around the world manage their finances day to day. Based on detailed field research in countries such as India, Kenya, and Bangladesh, the book debunks myths about poverty and shows the creative and practical strategies people use to save, borrow, and invest with limited resources.
By exploring the real financial "portfolios" of poor individuals, the work offers profound insights for policymakers, development professionals, and microfinance institutions, demonstrating that poverty is not a problem of lack of will, but of lack of access to adequate financial tools.
