Most of what economists write
about the economy of the poor is based in macroeconomic, high-level, aggregated
data or in microeconomic analysis based on formal businesses’ structure. This
article proposes a “nanoeconomics” approach to understand how low-income

that devastate middle-income neighborhoods. The article discusses tools and
models currently tested in Barrio 31, Buenos Aires, designed not only for
monitoring but to help settlers manage their households’ economies and emerge
from poverty.
