J.S. Mill Explained: The Harm Principle, Feminism, and the Future of Economics

We’ve all met the Doomsday Uncle. In the world of economics, that was Thomas Malthus. He was the guy who looked at a beautiful sunset and worried about how dark it would be in four hours. He told the world that because the population grows faster than food, we are destined for misery. For decades, his "dark cloud" hung over humanity, making leaders believe that helping the poor was a waste of time. Then came the "Anti-Malthus." His name was John Stuart Mill (J.S. Mill).

Theory and Practice of Fiscal Policy: From Stabilization to Structural Reform

Fiscal Policy is the use of government spending and taxation to influence the economy. It is one of the two primary tools for macroeconomic management—the other being monetary policy (managed by central banks).

The Doomsday Uncle: Why Thomas Malthus Predicted Our Hunger Games, And Why He Was Wrong?

If you’ve ever been to a big South Asian wedding, you know the vibe. The music is loud, the lights are bright, and the Biryani smells incredible. But in the corner, there is always that one "Chacha" (uncle) looking at the massive crowd with a worried face. He’s counting the heads, looking at the size of the Deg (cooking pot), and whispering, "The food is going to run out. Half these people are going home hungry."

In the world of economics, that "Doomsday Uncle" was a man named Thomas Robert Malthus. Writing in 1798, Malthus became the most famous pessimist in history. He didn't just worry about a wedding buffet; he worried about the entire planet. His predictions were so gloomy that they earned economics the nickname "The Dismal Science." But as we look at our bustling, vibrant, and well-fed world today, it’s clear: Malthus’s math was legendary, but his vision was limited.

Congratulations! You’ve just experienced the core of modern economics. You’ve just met Lionel Robbins (1898–1984).

If you are a student at Sara Pathshala, you’ve likely seen his name in the first chapter of every economics book. But who was he really?
