Media Reviews
Satish Jain . . . combined intellectual brilliance, extreme modesty and a unique gentleness in a way that I have rarely encountered since. This volume of essays by many . . . leading lights of economic theory . . . is an appropriate tribute to this remarkable scholar and human being. - Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

It is rare to find such a cluster of leading economic theorists coming together to pay tribute to an individual . . . [but then] Satish Jain is himself a rare economist . . . [with] a remarkable range of intellectual interests . . . [who] is known for his personal integrity and moral courage. - Kaushik Basu, Cornell University and the World Bank

The contributions are of the highest quality by scholars of great eminence. I believe this volume should be of great value to all advanced level students of economic theory. - Pulin B. Nayak, Delhi School of Economics

This volume of essays . . . which spans [Satish Jain's] wide spectrum of interests in economic theory and is characterized by . . . rigour and precision . . . in analysis, is a splendid tribute to his contributions to the profession. - Deepak Nayyar, Jawaharlal Nehru University
