  • Soumitra Sharma

Abstract

In the following pages the author expresses his personal views on the role of an economist in modern society. He draws attention to the current debate over the state of economic science today and the loss of confidence not only in the competence of an economist but also in the wisdom of the science. He optimistically pleads for an all-round intensive teaching of economics in universities.
