The Global Meltdown that started in the United States in the final quarter of 2008 and soon spread to other parts of the world including India remains a puzzle to many. Everybody knows that it still continues with widespread unemployment among professionals and ordinary workers, fall in production in many sectors and confusion in the financial segment. But how and why did this crisis come about? What are its implications? How to protect the world against a repeat performance?
In this short account, a distinguished economist deals with these issues in a manner that those who are not familiar with the technical language of economists and financiers will be able to follow.
Dr. C. T. Kurien is one of India’s senior economists. He was Professor in the Madras Christian College (1962-78) and Director of the Madras Institute of Development Studies (1978-88). Through his many writings – books such as Poverty and Development (1973), Poverty, Planning and Social Transformation (1980), Growth and Justice (1991), The Economy An Interpretative Introduction (1992), Global Capitalism and the Indian Economy (1994), professional papers and newspaper articles – he has influenced generations of economists and the reading public. Retired from active academic life, he now lives in Bangalore . |
