India-born naturalized British economist Meghnad Desai has written a new book titled “The Poverty of Political Economy: How Economics Abandoned the Poor”.
The book highlights how the discipline of economics has systematically kept corporate interests on the fringes since the late 18th century.
The book is published by HarperCollins Publishers India.
In this compelling new book, Meghnad Desai takes a critical, introspective look at the bodies of thought that have driven economics around the world.
From Adam Smith to John Maynard Keynes, and from the Great Depression to the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Desai studies the contribution of economics to domestic and international politics.
