Socio economic thoughts of B R Ambedkar

The Indian academia and society by and large know Dr. B.R. Ambedkar either as the man who fathered the Indian Constitution or as the Dalit leader who only championed the cause of the depressed classes exploited by upper class. However, Ambedkar was more than that. He was an outstanding economist, who understood the subtleties and nuances of monetary system, fiscal management, agrarian structure, industrialisation and postulate on these aspects with a most incisine yet humane approach as he believed economy should be subservient to the betterment of every section of society. He was a staunch trade unionist, who as labour member on the viceroy's council and as Law Minister of an Independent India initiated policy measures for the betterment of industrial and agriculture workers. This book attempts to bring all these discussions of Dr. Ambedkar's personality, which hitherto have remained in the domain of obscurity.
