This book introduces the reader to the persona and the economics of Dr. J.C Kumurappa, a noted Gandhian economist and a collaborator of Mahatma Gandhi. Kumurappa was neither a dreamer nor an idealist bereft of practical experience. Believing that economics must be a humane science imbued with deep ethical import, he tried to solve India’s poverty in a practical and effective way.
