Prof.Dibyendu Maiti Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi 1.How do labor, technology, and informality interact in shaping economic development in countries like India? Respondent: The relationship between labor, technology, and informality plays a crucial role in shaping economic development in countries like India. Despite significant economic growth since independence, a large informal sector continues to persist. While growth has brought technological advancement, it has not been sufficient to absorb informal workers into the formal sector. This remains one of the major challenges for the Indian economy. Technology adoption is indeed taking place, but it is largely concentrated in a few industries within the formal sector. As a result, some level of structural imbalance has emerged. The informal sector, which includes a significant portion of production and consumption activities, has not been able to effectively access or adopt modern techno...

  CBS LINE Volume 4(3) Beyond the Invisible Hand: The Rise of People-Centric Business Abdul Jawad M A Development Studies University of Calicut In conventional approach, businesses have been viewed primarily as economic institutions created to produce goods and services for profit. The conventional meaning of business revolves around organized commercial activity aimed at earning returns on investment. This makes profit the ultimate measure of success, competition the driving force, and efficiency the guiding principle. Companies strive to minimize costs, maximize revenues, and outperform rivals in the marketplace. While this model has generated unprecedented economic growth, it has also sparked debate about the true purpose of business in society. The intellectual foundation for this conventional understanding can be traced to the 18th-century economist Adam Smith and his influential work, The Wealth of Nations . In this landmark publication, Smith argued that individuals...
