'...strongly recommended to anyone who is willing to learn that the way we are used to do economics might not represent the generally valid paradigm of economics in a culturally differentiating world of the next decades.' Professor Dr. Wolfram Elsner, UniversitAt Bremen, Germany 'Professor Kanth has written a passionate denunciation of modern economics and its method...Kanth brings to his arguments a thorough knowledge of the context and method of economics and much else beside: their counterparts in philosophy, history, anthropology and religion. He is a most courageous person who put his career prospects at great risk because his integrity required him to follow his arguments to uncomfortable conclusions and speak out...I admire tremendously the example he has set. I urge readers to consider the arguments while they admire his conviction and courage.' Professor G.C. Harcourt, University of Cambridge, UK 'Kanth writes with a verve that is unusual for economists, making this valuable book an enjoyable read.' Review of Political Economy '...a wide ranging and stimulating book...it is rare to find a book as thought-provoking...' Alethia
