Radical Political Economy
Throughout this course, we will explore fundamental concepts and engage in discussions within the realms of philosophy, sociology, political science, and economics as they relate to Karl Marx's writings. The primary focus, however, will be on critically analyzing Marxist and classical economics. When needed, we will offer historical context and dive into the history of economic thought to enhance the understanding of Marx's works. Towards the end, we can also see the application of Marxian Economics to the world of international trade.

However, the emphasis has often remained on the drain of wealth as a cause of India's underdevelopment. This study shifts the lens to examine how this drain from India to Britain played a crucial role in Britain's economic development.
