  1. Excellent short creative documentary on Amartya Sen made for the Infosys Prize ceremony held in Bangalore, January 2020.

  2. CMIE data shows unemployment rate in India in the age group 20-24 years has risen to a shocking level of 37%. This should get much more attention from policymakers. Allowed to persist this can leave scars on India’s economy & polity for long years.

    "We need a moral framework that includes empathy for people who do not look like us, and for the generations that will come after us." reflects on what the past decade has wrought and what the next may bring:

  4. One positive fallout of Trump’s address is the Republicans are bound to be physically more fit at the end of it. The number of times they sprang to their feet to applaud Trump’s catalogue of achievements would make any yoga teacher proud.

  5. Trump’s speech was a long list of his record achievements. But anything one does can be a record if one uses enough adjectives to create a narrow category. When in school I did poorly in a race, my mother announced I had come first among all students who wore yellow caps.

  6. Sad, the passing of Frank Rhodes, one of the most important figures in American higher education. He was Cornell’s president when I joined Cornell.

  7. Trump catalogues a list of “records” his administration has achieved unmindful of the fact that every indicator with a sufficient number of adjectives thrown in can be described as a record.

  9. It’s awkward recommending ones own work, but I have to. I was just retreading my play, Crossings at Benaras Junction. And recommend it to you. It’s reprinted in my book (below), and here is a downloadable version.

  10. Karl Marx had marvelled at the resilience of Hinduism against outside forces. It is therefore sad that Hinduism is today under attack from inside forces—by Hindutva groups bent on destroying the religion by changjng it very essence.

    There is an easy solution. Don’t announce n (instead of saying n=12) and you will have many new friends.

    How about 120? Some would keep on expecting it for ten years and would in the meantime try to become your best friends.

  14. I have been thinking of writing a column, one a month, spread over a year, on 12 greatest living economists. My only worry is that when the 12th column comes out I will suddenly make so many new enemies that I may not be able to handle it.

  15. “We must love one another or die.” Auden had written this beautiful line in 1939. But shortly before his death he had insisted that the “or” be changed to “and”.

    The just-released Economic Survey shows what good budgetary & fiscal policy can do. 2005 to 2011 India’s growth was magical crossing 10% in 2007-8. Growth dropped with the global recession in 2008-09 but it jumped back to 8.5% the next year. The secret lay in the Budget stimulus.
