Summary: Essays in Economics and Other Cheerful Themes is a collection of pieces on economy, polity and society, written by a social scientist over a number of years. The book addresses conceptual and empirical issues in development at both national and global levels. The philosophical bases of these issues are sought to be addressed in relatively non-technical and accessible terms. The book also makes space for essays that deal with less solemn phenomena, such as cricket, film, the conduct of academic institutions, and the esoteric excesses. This book is of immense importance for students of economics, both at undergraduates and postgraduates who are still not very mature to reason and see relevance in favour of having alluring temptations of comfort and accommodation.
