“The Poverty Of Political Economy: How Economics Abandoned the Poor” is a new book authored by Meghnad Desai, a British economist who was born in India and later became a naturalized citizen of the UK.

Meghnad Desai scrutinizes the philosophical principles that have influenced economics globally. The book delves into the role of economics in both domestic and international politics, tracing its evolution from Adam Smith to John Maynard Keynes, and from the Great Depression to the downfall of Lehman Brothers.
