Abstract: Abstract Meghnad Desai has had a distinguished career as an economist, a political scientist and a politician: he is a Renaissance man. He has published numerous books and academic papers on a variety of topics, including Marxian economics, agricultural economics, development economics and macroeconomics. Besides his academic interests, he has been involved in movies and theatre. Meghnad has always been concerned with social issues. He was born in India and did his undergraduate education in Bombay, his doctorate at Pennsylvania, and began his academic career in the Agricultural Department at the University of California, Berkeley, before moving to LSE. After retiring from LSE, in 2015 he collaborated with some of his former students to establish an academic institution in India, the Meghnad Desai Academy of Economics (MDAE).
