"Orthodoxy, the acceptance of authoritative theories and opinions, apart from their intrinsic truth or value, is an attitude of mental and social security, a disposition to swim with the tide and to enjoy the benefits of respectability." (Hobson 1938, p. 90)

I'll be talking on 'The Politics of Microeconomics' at ISEC this Monday.

Based on my EPW article: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Last Monday, I spoke about growth theories at Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Bengaluru Regional Office. After providing a brief overview of SS-side & DD-led growth theories, I discussed some policy implications for India.
