Historic and Famed Cities of India series

Edited by Malvika Singh
Each of the books in this series offer a delightful journey through one of the most remarkable cities of India. Elegant writings by
a host of accomplished writers capture charm and tradition on one hand, transition and paradox on the other. Sharing the
uniqueness of each city as time has seen it emerge, it also clearly demonstrates to what extent these talented writers felt inspired
to pen it down.
Malvika Singh is the publisher of the monthly journal Seminar and a columnist for numerous daily newspapers and magazines. She
is the author of Delhi: India in One City.
“The best thing about the books is how they telescope the transition—thoughtful enough to not condemn all change as for the
worst, but reflective enough to be able to assess what was and what has been lost.” —Indian Express

INDEPENDENT INSTITUTE AVAILABLE amazing breadth of Professor Boettke’s reading and the deep
and careful thoughtfulness with which he reads.”
—Israel M. Kirzner, professor emeritus of economics,
New York University
“A superb book. . . . It is vintage Boettke: engaging, witty,
and chock full of insight. This book should be put in the
hands of every first-year student of economics, if only to
show them what they are missing!”
—Bruce Caldwell, research professor
of economics, Duke University
“A solid book that counters the excessive simulation of mod-

the temptation to extend application of the logic beyond rea-
sonable limits.”
