Nicholas Kaldor on Indian Economic Problems

Sukhamoy Chakravarty

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 1989, vol. 13, issue 1, 237-44

Abstract: Nicholas Kaldor's writings in India, extending over a period of three decades, are reviewed in the paper. The author concludes that Kaldor's writings on tax reforms in India reflected a philosophy of taxation for developing economies that remains fully pertinent today. Kaldor had correctly diagnosed the nature of "resource imbalance," which afflicts planners and policymakers today in India and elsewhere. Kaldor's writings on India reflect an approach to development problems that he later elaborated in his "Cornell Lectures" and elsewhere. Copyright 1989 by Oxford University Press.
