The writing of Prof. Amlan Datta deserve serious attention of students, teachers, researchers and intellectuals alike given his status as an economist amongst philosophers and a philosopher amongst economists.

With this conviction serving as our inspiration, we present this compilation of his works as a tribute to this prophet of democracy-led development. (jacket)
