Ambedkar : An Economist Extraordinaire - Hardcover
Ambedkar was easily one of the most highly educated Economists in our country, with MA and PhD in Economics from Colombia University, USA and DSc from London School of Economics. The Indian Society has done a great injustice to itself by ignoring the economic thoughts of Ambedkar. After all, his economic thoughts were not parochial. What Ambedkar always had in mind was in the best interest of the nation as a whole.To brand him only as a leader of the downtrodden in India is an insult to this great patriot.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR was an intellectual colossus. He was a multi-faceted genius whose outstanding contribution in such diverse fields as law, sociology, political science, anthropology and comparative religion are well recognized. However, there is one crucial aspect of his multifarious genius that has remained surprisingly neglected far too long, namely, his phenomenal contribution as an economist. As a matter of fact, Ambedkar was easily one of the most highly educated Economists in our country, with MA and PhD in Economics from Columbia University, USA and DSc from the London School of Economics. Ambedkar s Ph.D. dissertation at Columbia University, USA (1917), The Evolution of Provincial Finance in British India is a seminal contribution to the field of Public Finance, analysing evolution of the Centre-State financial relations in British India. His D.Sc. dissertation at London School of Economics (1923), The Problem of the Rupee: Its Origin and Its Solution, his magnum opus, is a major contribution to the field of Monetary Economics. In 1942, when Ambedkar was appointed as a Member (Minister) in the Viceroy s Executive Council, he emerged as an Economic Administrator par excellence and made remarkable contributions in respect of labour welfare, employment and skill development, power, water management, mineral resource management and public works. The Indian society has done a great injustice to itself by ignoring the economic thoughts of Ambedkar. After all, his economic thoughts were not parochial. What Ambedkar always had in mind was in the best interest of the nation as a whole. To brand him only as a leader of the downtrodden in India is an insult to this great patriot. What is equally disheartening is depriving the Indian society of the benefit of his economic thoughts, an act which is self-defeating for India as a nation. It is, therefore, imperative to bring out the contributions of Ambedkar, both in the field of economics in general and in addressing India s economic problems. Seller Inventory # 116347
