The following passage appears in my forthcoming volume on From Marx to Market
What's the purpose of
reviews and comments while they are available in abundance by eminent
professional experts? Proliferation of comments and criticism are called for,
as they essentially arouse and excite besides illuminating some hard economic
truth. There are certain facts we need to know if we are to understand and
appreciate properly and objectively about the success areas and failure zones
of reform period. A critic by his selective discourse, some passing reference
to long forgotten passage or phrase might offer an imaginative and speculative
reconstruction of reality, though an unbiased picture of economic truth will be
as rare as durable peace on the desert soil of Arab world.and several other pockets
The
embarrassing question however is how far can critical comments and constructive
criticism, inclusive of creative appreciation go? Where does interpretation end
and nonsense begin? Why is one interpretation hailed, while others get brick
bat? Eventually, it boils down to one's own intellectual training, ideology,
quality of knowledge and sense of perception towards society, while examining
economic issues which really touch the lives of millions of people with all
social ramifications.
