This book presents an intriguing economic analysis of malnutrition among children in rural Thailand, but ultimately falls short of providing a comprehensive understanding of the issue. The author's use of statistical data and econometric models is impressive, but the writing style can be dry at times, making it challenging to engage with the material. While the book provides some valuable insights into the economic causes and consequences of malnutrition, I felt that it could have benefited from a more nuanced exploration of the social and cultural factors that contribute to this problem. Overall, I found the book to be a solid addition to the field, but not particularly groundbreaking or memorable.

The author's use of data and real-life examples effectively illustrates the devastating impact of poverty and poor healthcare on child development, while also highlighting the importance of education and social protection in breaking the cycle of malnutrition. While some aspects of the book may have benefited from further elaboration, the overall analysis is thorough and insightful, making for a compelling read that will resonate with anyone interested in international development and public health.

This book provided a thought-provoking analysis of the complex issue of malnutrition among children in rural Thailand, applying an economic lens to understand its underlying causes and consequences. The author's use of data and statistical models effectively conveyed the devastating impact of poverty and inequality on child health outcomes, while also highlighting the need for targeted interventions that address both the supply-side (e.g., healthcare infrastructure) and demand-side (e.g., household food security) factors driving malnutrition. Through its nuanced exploration of the economic determinants of this problem, the book offers valuable insights and policy recommendations for policymakers seeking to improve the lives of rural Thai children.
