Book Description:

নীতির পথে অর্থনীতি (Nitir Pathe Arthaniti) by Saurin Bhattacharya traces the evolution of economics as a discipline, focusing on its shift from a moral science to a purely "scientific" field in the late 19th century. Early on, ethics played a crucial role in the shaping of economic thought, but over time, economics distanced itself from moral considerations, becoming more objective and detached from notions of good and bad. However, the book argues that today, the world economy finds itself once again at a crossroads where ethical questions cannot be ignored.

Bhattacharya explores the historical trajectory of economics, from its inseparable connection with ethics to its eventual separation and subsequent return to the realm of moral reflection. This book delves into the philosophical underpinnings of economics, addressing the evolving role of ethics within economic theories and examining how moral considerations are becoming relevant once more in understanding economic policies and global issues.

Through a comprehensive historical lens, the book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of economics and morality, providing readers with a thought-provoking analysis of how these two realms continue to shape and influence each other.
