Description
Aakar Books Essays In The Reconstruction Of Political Economy by Amit Bhaduri
A distinguished economic theorist of international fame, Amit Bhaduri stands out for challenging consistently the conventional wisdom of mainstream economics. Through his innovative research he has shown systematically how the postulates of individual rationality and methodological individualism of economic orthodoxy ignore the role of power which should be the center piece of economic analysis. Fifteen less technical of his essays, written over the last three decades and collected in this volume, give a flavor of how political economy is shaped by power in a historical process.
