The Unexplored Keynes and Other Essays
Anand Chandavarkar
This book begins with an in-depth reappraisal of John Maynard Keynes, a major architect of modern economics, examining his contributions as an economist, economic statesman, institutional architect and founder of the ideas behind the IMF and the World Bank.
It explores the central question of what constituted the Keynesian Revolution and examines lesser-known aspects of Keynes's life and work, including his roles as a civil servant, social philosopher and advocate for causes of conscience.
The second part brings together essays on finance, economic development, central banking and colonial Indian economic history. It examines the drivers of economic growth, including the contributions of Nobel Laureate Arthur Lewis, and evaluates the political economy of international aid.
The book also argues for a constitutionally independent Federal Reserve Bank of India and includes an archival essay on American economist Ralph Whitenack, described as a pioneer economic adviser to modern India. Further essays explore the relationship between economics and philosophy, including the economic philosophy of Joan Robinson, and present an agenda for interdisciplinary collaboration.
