Economics With a Human Face

This book offers some distinctly original and practical solutions to major socio-economic problems confronting India today. In the first chapter, the author exposes the fault lines in the conventional concept of the poverty line and also presents an alternative to it. What follows in the next chapter is his massive hammer of a strategy, made of deep socio-economic insight, a real concern for the poor and a sense of socio-economic justice for all, to smash down the tall walls of the prison of poverty, in which millions of Indian households are languishing for their ëunpardonable crimeí of having no practical means to beat it on their own.

Then he goes on to highlight and address the inability of the State to exploit the massive economic potential of the prison population, the global phenomenon of gold accumulation and aggrandizement and the extravagant practices of Hinduism in chapters three, four and five, respectively.

In the last chapter, he offers a distinctly ingenious digital framework for preventing speeding-driven road accidents and, therefore, significantly reducing the heavy economic cost of road accidents in India.
