    There is no Nobel Prize in economics

    Originally published: The Daily Star on October 22, 2020 by Asrar Chowdhury (more by The Daily Star)  | (Posted Jan 07, 2022)

    Let’s debunk a myth. There is no “Nobel Prize in Economics”. On Nov 27, 1895, when Alfred Nobel signed his will, he left five prizes in alphabetical order to: chemistry, literature, peace, physics, and physiology or medicine. The Nobel Prize in Economics is declared after the Panchapandavas above.

    Karl Marx on India: An assessment (Part I)

    In a Delhi bookshop this October, I came across Karl Marx on India. Edited by Iqbal Husain, former Professor of History at Aligarh Muslim University, and published under the aegis of Aligarh Historians Society by Tulika Books in 2006, the book attracted me too because it contained a long Introduction by the eminent Aligarh historian, Professor Irfan Habib.

    Living amidst the catastrophes of “the Living Contradiction”

    Originally published: The Daily Star on December 29, 2018 by Brett Benjamin (more by The Daily Star)  | (Posted Jan 03, 2019)

    “By its nature,” Marx writes in the climactic passage of a magnificent but very dense section of the Grundrisse, capital “posits a barrier to labor and value-creation in contradiction to its tendency to expand them boundlessly. And in as much as it both posits a barrier specific to itself, and on the other side equally drives over and beyond every barrier, it is the living contradiction.”

  • The Struggle between the Future and the Past: Where Is Cuba Going?
    Editor | Cuban Flag Museum of the Revolution Havana Cuba 2012 | MR Online

    I have 2 favourite sayings. One draws upon the dialogue in Shakespeare’s Henry the VI part 2 when Jack Cade envisions that the effect of his plot will be that “all the realm shall be in common.” To this, comrade Dick responds, “the first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
