This textbook covers the syllabus of the papers on economy, state, and society of undergraduate and graduate courses in Economics in India. The content also covers the topics in history of economic thought taught in some colleges and universities.
The textbook explains the emergence, evolution, and working of the capitalist system with the help of some of the major principles and theories of economics. It interrelates economics and economic life with other aspects of our lives—social, cultural, political, religious, and intellectual.
