So-called Nobel Economics Prize for 2019 awarded to Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer for studies on poverty as part of Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab.
Much Married Banerjee had a love child with Esther. He was also her supervisor. Banerjee is JNU alumni.
Amartya Sen got Nobel Economics Prize after marrying Emma Georgina Rothschild. Now Abhijit Banerjee get one after marrying his former doctoral student Esther Duflo.
BTW, Amartya Sen was their matchmaker.
Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (JPAL) is a very shady outfit that works with notorious organizations like Ford Foundation and terrorist-linked Saudi Abdul Latif Jameel family that had a role in supplying Toyota cars to ISIS.
Funny facts:
US Citizen Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee officially became Christian after marrying Esther.
Former IAS Iqbal Dhaliwal is Executive Director of J-PAL.
Dhaliwal is married to another Amartya Sen protegée Gita Gopinath.
What a network of inbreeding ☺
Abhijeet Banerjee (much like his mentor Amartya Sen) is a rabid Modi hater. He was the one who framed the populist #Nyay scheme of @RahulGandhi during elections to follow up on Sen's MNREGA debacle. This Ford foundation caucus are cheerleaders of #Pappu
The latest book of Abhijeet Banerjee was co-edited with Gita Gopinath, Raghuram Rajan, and Mihir S. Sharma
Congress party's media lobbyist Mihir sharma of all people. 😆
