Economist Esther Duflo and Françoise Barre Sinoussi are among the women whose work has won the Nobel Prize. Find them in these interviews, an opportunity for them to discuss not only their work but also their commitments.
Ten years before her Nobel Prize, brilliant economist Esther Duflot is received on the set of the last 5 minutes of France2. She says she prefers to focus on poverty rather than financial capitalism. It does this very concretely thanks to the research laboratory it created at MIT in Cambridge. The economist explains his approach to evaluating the effectiveness of ideas and programmes to combat this scourge, with NGOs, governments and private companies.
