Topics
The present edition of the book will feature chapters on four broad topics. The papers can belong to any one of the following broad topics.
- Economic Slowdown: The economy of India is experiencing a troublesome slowdown. Some experts believe it is the sign of a looming recession. Essays and Papers under this topic will analyze trends in the Indian Market and the corresponding laws and policy to arrive at a conclusion as to how this situation came about, and what could be its implication, and what are the measures to combat this economic emergency/phenomenon.
- Development Revisited: There has been much debate about what counts as a country’s development. The modernist, conventional view of what is better for the world overlooks many aspects of the economy and society. Essays and Papers under this topic will criticize the theories and policies taken by the government and the leading companies of the country to try and see whether our aim for the economy needs to be readjusted.
- Towards a new world: The advent of technology has brought about revolutions not just in the computational power of our machines, but the destiny of humankind itself. How a society thinks and behaves is dependent upon the algorithms set up by social media giants. Development of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence will dictate much, if not all, of human communication and interaction in the coming years. Thus, by extension, it will dictate the future of law and economics.
- Impact on the economy after lockdown: With rising unemployment, interest rates, and fiscal deficit, the economy in India has seen better days. Adding fuel to this fire is the novel Coronavirus that is sending tremors down Indian trade markets dependent on China for imports. Centrum Institutional Research said the country again stares at the possibility of low single-digit growth for FY2021 (April 2020 to March 2021) as the pandemic came at the most inopportune time for India whose economy was showing signs of recovery after bold monetary/ fiscal measures. Thus, there is a dire need to form some policies to deal with the present situation. The policies can help to control the economy of the country from crumbling completely.
Papers and Essays on this topic will, therefore, explore the present and potential connection of such developments to law and economics.
