Stuart Mill was among the foremost liberal thinkers of modern
times who wrote extensively on economics and philosophy. Though
under the influence of his wife Harriet Taylor Mill, he came
closer towards socialism late in his life, it was a kind of
cooperative socialism that attracted him; he continues to
be regarded primarily as a pre-eminent liberal thinker. |

Water, one of England's many regional water monopolies, infamously
privatised by Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s and symbolising
the dramatic turn in economic policy that neoliberalism implied,
is finally collapsing. |

| The
True Face of "Aid" |
| Apr
16th 2024. C.P. Chandrasekhar and Jayati Ghosh |
|
A
spike in Overseas Development Assistance flows from OECD members
is not a departure from a long history of ODA levels that
have fallen far short of a 1970 promise. It is a revelation
of what "aid" really is. |

Young
Scholars Conference Political Economy of Contemporary South
Asia |

Our
key theme is the political economy of contemporary South Asia.
At the core of these transformations are the fraught and so-called
"truncated transition," where South Asian societies
are not making the transition from farm to factory, but the
rise of informal economies, industrial clusters, in-between
agrarian-urban and peri-urban spaces force us to rethink familiar
transition narratives and to eschew them in favour of more
grounded theories. |

2023-24: Neither growth nor welfare friendly |

If
we ignore the hype that accompanies and follows the presentation
of the Centre's annual budget, there are principally two
strands in it that have attracted attention.

2023-24: Ignoring the economy's basic problem |
| Feb
6th 2023, Prabhat Patnaik |
|
The
most outstanding feature of the Indian economy today is
the sluggish increase in real consumption expenditure. Between
2019-20 and 2022-23 for instance the per capita real consumption
expenditure has grown by less than 5 per cent which is less
than the rate of growth of the gross domestic product.
