Scarcity by Sendhil Mullainathan

I purchased this book after listening to the the author’s interview on “PIMA” podcast

The primary focus of the book is how scarcity, whether it’s in terms of money, time, social contact, or other resources, influences our behavior. What we sometimes perceive as incompetence, laziness, indifference, or any other negative traits used to describe someone’s behavior could be a consequence of their limited bandwidth due to scarcity.

Another way of looking at people and situations.
