We concluded the 3rd annual conference of the Indian Society for the History of Economic Thought (ISHET) last week @CdsTrivandrum. We discussed HET over several parallel sessions & of course during meals & tea breaks in the beautiful CDS campus. A special note of thanks to @vinojabraham, Emmanuel, Shonima & Anfas from CDS & @Thair_econ & @kr_ashwath from ISHET for their stellar organising. And to Tanisha Hiremath for the work on the posters & website. And immense gratitude to Harro Maas, the keynote speaker. And of course to the presenters who came from across India and abroad.

Some years ago, I had gone with Jean to meet with the DGP of Bihar. The DGP was in a meeting with 3 senior IPS officers. On seeing Jean, they smiled & nodded with respect. One proudly said that he was Jean's student & the other two said they learned a lot from reading him.

Not many development economists on the ground today in Delhi.

But don't worry, once the government changes they'll be back begging for microdata to run an RCT to show how protesting districts outcomes were better than the ones that didn't.

Anwar Shaikh has left this world.

He was so clear in his thinking that he left a deep imprint on the thinking of generations of New School students and readers behind.

He would always insist that we had to get the first principles right. If you start from an absurd model and then argue the world is imperfect measured against that standard from cloud cuckoo land, you have gone astray with no way to return but to start anew.

He wanted to rebuild economics from scratch going back to the classics and in this process became a classic himself.

It’s hard to picture economics without Anwar. As we are challenged to rebuild the basics, we need his thinking more than ever. Thank you for leaving your writing for us. May you rest in peace.

‘…the push by AI companies to solve mathematical problems as a benchmark is detrimental to the science of mathematics, and to the mathematical community. The goals of the AI companies and the goals of the mathematical community are severely misaligned.’

My review of Garegnani's work is now published in @epw_in. I focus particularly on (i) measurement in economic theory, (ii) effectual demand & aggregate demand, and (iii) competition & equilibrium.

A must-read book for all economists.

Oh man, this story is so UPLIFTING (without being corny). It's one of the best stories I've read in a very long time -- and a welcome break from AI.
Enjoy the free article!

Vijay & I wrote this for the Text & Context section in today's Hindu. This is in response to a recent hearing in the Supreme Court concerning minimum wages & right to work. We present the constitutional basis & respond to a comment on flawed economic logic by the Bench.
