The third of the three, this volume brings a collection of essays,
articles, reviews, and reminiscences written over a span of more
than six decades. It bears the stamp of the author's unique views
on the development of economic thought and its relevance to the
real world. The essays are divided into seven segments broadly
discussing war and post-war inflation, international economic
relations, public finance in India, planning as the instrument for
mobilization of resources for economic development, unemployment,
and Gandhian economics etc. His standing as a noted academic finds
expressions in his views on teaching in economics, economic
research, and reflections on higher education. This volume brings
out the author's concern for human well-being, the state of the
society, and the common man. The volume has been comprehensively
introduced by I.G. Patel, the noted economist and former Governor,
Reserve Bank of India, whose association with Dasgupta ran for more
than half-a-century. The introduction is not only an insight into
Dasgupta's lasting works in macroeconomics, but also Patel's
thinking on macroeconomic management in India. Volume I contains
two of the author's most important treatises: The Conception of
Surplus in Theoretical Economics which is an important determinant
of the course of economic forces; and Epochs of Economic Theory
which traces the historical development of economic theory and
offers several original perspectives on classical political
economy. The volume has been introduced by Dilip M. Nachane who
provides an overview of economic thought in India in the early
twentieth century that was influenced by: a) the nationalist
strand; b) the colonial regime; and c) the Gandhian ideal of
Swadeshi, village self-sufficiency, and trusteeship. Volume II is a
collection of his pioneering work on wages and employment in
economies with an unlimited supply of unskilled labour. Dasgupta's
motivation came from his observations of the world around him; in
particular his observations of events unfolding in the Indian
economy in the post-independence era. Readers will have a deeper
understanding of the underlying structure of the Indian economy
during the post-War years, and the history of development of
political economy. The volume has a biographical sketch by the
editor and the author's daughter, Alaknanda Patel, Visiting
Professor, Centre for Development Alternatives, Ahmedabad and has
been introduced by the author's son Partha Dasgupta, Frank Ramsey
Professor of Economics, Cambridge University.
