Introduction
In 
their 
experiments, 
they 
found 
that 
psychological 
traits 
like 
bad 
character 
or 
low 
intelligence 
could 
not 
explain 
why 
poor 
people 
made 
more 
bad 
decisions
than
people
with
more
nancial
resources.
Instead,
Shar
and
Mullainathan 
came 
up 
with 
another 
explanation: 
It 
is 
often 
a 
person’s 
context
that
dictates
whether
someone
can
make
a
good
decision.
Shar
again:
“Slowly
came
the
realization
that
many
of
the
mistakes
made
by
the
poor 
are 
caused 
by 
poverty 
itself.” 
In 
their 
book, 
the 
researchers 
explain 
that 
when 
someone 
experiences 
scarcity 
– 
whether 
it 
is 
a 
lack 
of 
money, 
friends 
or 
time 
– 
this 
shortage 
‘captures’ 
that 
person’s 
mind. 
Her 
mind 
will 
intentionally 
and 
unintentionally 
deal 
with 
scarcity, 
and 
this 
leaves 
less 
cognitive 
capacity 
for 
other 
things, 
such 
as 
making 
a 
good 
decision.
