| The lost community of economic ideology | 12-NOV-09 |
|
| The genesis of the idea that shapes this book is a small village close to Delhi. In 1963, Stephen Marglin was part of a team of advisers to the Planning Commission and the question that engaged him then was the reluctance of farmers to adopt new farming techniques that promised dramatic increases in production and income. Were these farmers the exception to the logic of homo economicus who is forever seeking to improve his lot? So he went to Dhabi Kalan, a village some 150 miles north of Delhi, to find some answers and it was here that a new world opened up to him. It was in the encounters with Dhabi Kalan that this economics professor discovered the importance of the community and this set him on a quest that has resulted in The Dismal Science: How Thinking Like an Economist Undermines Community. |

| Sunil Sethi: Remembering Oct 31, 1984 | 31-OCT-09 |
|
| Such is the jigsaw of memory that looking back on that momentous day, October 31, 1984, and its calamitous aftermath, the oddest pieces first come to light. I covered the assassination of Indira Gandhi and the anti-Sikh riots that followed to write the cover story “End of An Era” for India Today together with Raghu Rai’s haunting, imperishable images in colour and black & white. The first thought that hindsight delivers is how much has changed in these 25 years — New Delhi was a different city, India another country, and the cast of characters and brand of politics were quite distinct. |
