| Summary/Abstract |
The Economics of Small Things is a quirky and, at times, quite personal book containing ruminations by the author Sudipta Sarangi about a host of quotidian issues. Many of these are questions or puzzles that we have often contemplated. Here Sarangi attempts to answer these using lucid prose, an economic lens and an engaging style. Many of the chapters in the current book appeared as columns in an Indian newspaper. (The author seems to have been fortunate in having a magnanimous editor who gave the author lots of column inches to explicate his ideas!) The author is also of Indian origin. Consequently, many of the examples and situations are more relevant to Indians or possibly Anglophiles, than others. This is not a disqualification by any means since we are used to reading books and watching movies from various other cultures and languages. Often in doing so we not only admire the craft of the creators but also learn interesting highlights of cultures that we are not familiar with. So, not surprisingly, Sarangi has a chapter on cricket and another on P.G. Wodehouse, two things uniquely Indian.
