Humanity needs to learn social theories that are scientific for the sake of social harmony and reject the existing Left-liberal theories originating basically in the U.S., Kausik Gangopadhyay, Professor of Economics at the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode (IIMK), has said.
He was discussing his newly released book, The Majoritarian Myth: How Unscientific Social Theories Create Disharmony, at a function held at the IIMK. Prof. M.P. Sebastian, Senior Professor at the institute, launched the book.
In his book, Prof. Gangopadhyay focuses on advocating for scientific content in social sciences, criticising the formation of group identities for social harmony and questioning the scientific nature of dominant social theories.
