Le Monde: Esther Duflo: 'I discovered that economists have a dangerous power'
Esther Duflo, a Nobel laureate in Economics, reflects on her journey into the field, which began unexpectedly during a trip to Moscow in 1993. Initially skeptical of economics, she was inspired by a chance encounter with economist Daniel Cohen, who encouraged her to explore the discipline's potential to impact lives.
Now the president of the Paris School of Economics, Duflo emphasizes the importance of understanding economics as a tool for addressing poverty and social issues. Her work, including the acclaimed book "Poor Economics," highlights the need for innovative approaches to economic challenges.
