How the Economics textbooks ignore Indian realities

Episode Notes

Ever wondered why economics feels different in India compared to what we study in books?

 

In this episode, we chat with Alex Thomas, a renowned economics professor from Azim Premji University, about why Western economic theories don't always work in India. From inequality to real-world examples, we break down economics in a way that makes sense for Indians. Alex shares his journey from choosing economics by chance to writing a textbook that speaks to Indian students. 

 

No complex jargon - just honest talk about how economics really works in our country.
