Potential to Humanise the Understanding of Economic Problems
Meanwhile, Professor C. Raj Kumar Founding Vice Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University, highlighted his delight with the introduction of the programme saying "We are increasingly faced with a polarised world. When politics and philosophy are combined with the study of economics, we create the potential to humanise the understanding of economic problems and for institutions to have a better approach towards studying economics. To have a respectful disagreement and forge the space for that respectful disagreement is something that global politics, learnt in the right way, can enable. That is why bringing that into the course's academic content is important."
