[Thirdspace] Economic Nobel Prize 2019 is given to people who fought poverty

Dear Group,

This year's Nobel Prize in Economics is awarded to Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Michael Kremer, who are famous for their work in poverty alleviation. Of them, Abhijit and Esther co-authored a book called "Poor Economics" which is very famous in our field.

This news is very inspiring for our field. I am also very happy personally because Abhijit is also a Bengali. :-)

Best Regards, Ishtiaque
