Economic Thought of R.C. Dutt: A Visionary Indian Economist

Abstract

Romesh Chunder Dutt, often known as R.C. Dutt, was a well-known figure in the late 19th and early 20th century Indian economic theory. Born in 1848, Dutt worked for the British colonial government in India in a variety of administrative capacities, during which time he gained extensive knowledge of the country's economic problems. His writings had a significant impact on the conversation about economic development and policy in India at the time and still have an impact on modern economic theory. This essay explores R.C. Dutt's economic theories and their applicability in the modern era.
