"Economic theory, policies and development

The volumes covers the period of 1947 to 1962 and discusses a wide range of issues such as: economic reconstruction of Asia and the Far East, problems of international economic policy, economic problems and policies in post-Independence India, tendencies in economic theory and practice, tools of planning, teaching of economics in India, problem of inflation, a realistic taxation policy in India, rethinking on Indian economics, etc.

It attempts to understand the issues and problems with better clarity of Indian perception, and in the context of the socio-political, ideological and economic factors that have characterised India's economic development process during the years that followed Independence. The students of the Indian economy will find that the discussion that took so many years ago and the ways and means suggested then for introducing new analytical framework into the discipline of economics in India, still hold good.
