Economic theories stem from the study of society, people and culture. The topics we discuss in this series pertain to unavoidable parts of Indian society. In today’s episode, Ananya and Mukta take up beggary, and simply dissect how it interacts and interlinks with economics - obstacles and all.

This series is for anyone who has an urge to understand how far the reach of economics goes and witness the application of it to important issues in our country.
