Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Review "Despite the prominence of contemporary Indian economists in the world, we know very little about the origins of economic thought in India. Krishnamurty's careful selection of writings from preindependence India, scholarly introduction and biographical notes on the authors go some distance inredressing this. The book captures well the romance and excitement of the birth of ideas."Kaushik Basu, C. Marks Professor and Chairman of the Department of Economics, Cornell University"J. Krishnamurty has literally 'made history' from what development economics forgot. Everyone interested in actually existing economies will enjoy this stimulating exploration of economic debates, the preIndependence Indian economy, and the arguments for its development."Barbara HarrissWhite,Director of Contemporary South Asian Studies Programme, Oxford University"...satisfying reading. These contemporary Indian economists truly have a history and noteworthy legacy worth celebrating."Business India Product Description As the Indian economy goes through one of its most prosperous yet turbulent times, it seems appropriate to revisit its earliest scholars and advisors. Colonial India produced several professional economists of repute, researching on its economic conditions and development needs. Theircontributions have largely been ignored though they had anticipated, in significant ways, recent debates in development economics. This volume showcases these contributions to development economics, well before the subject became a part of mainstream economics in the developed world. It reproduces the works of major Indian economists of the early twentieth century, each contexualized in terms of the contemporary relevance. These early Indian economists covered a range of issuesmonetary and fiscal policy, protection, employment and labour market conditions, credit systems, industry, rural economy, women in development, macroeconomic policy, environmental economics, and economic dimensions of political problemswithsignificance for research, teaching, and public policy. Presented in chronological order to highlight the direction in which Indian economic thinking was progressing at the time, the contributions provide readers with a rare insight into longstanding issues in the economy.
