This graph allows us to determine just how much greater a benefit the extreme poor receive from $1 than you or I do. Imagine if your boss called you in and told you your salary would double for the next year. You’d be pretty pleased, right? What the conclusions from the economic studies suggest is that the benefit you would get from having your salary doubled is the same as the benefit an extremely poor Indian farmer earning $220 a year would get from an additional $220.
