How do you describe a life like Meghnad Desai’s?
Born to middle-class parents in Vadodara, Gujarat, Desai grew up in an India that was still shiny and new and filled with every kind of potential. But seeking fresh academic challenges, he left for the US and then the UK, quite certain that his future lay elsewhere. As he participated in the student protests that spread across the Western world in 1968-1969, his political energy and ideas began to find focus. This was also perhaps the root of his unorthodox approach towards economics.
Meghnad Desai
Meghnad Desai was associated for thirty-eight years with the London School of Economics (LSE), where he was a professor of economics and the director of the Centre for the Study of Global Governance (1991–2003). He retired as Emeritus Professor of economics and was made Honorary Fellow of the LSE. He joined the British Labour Party in 1971, served as chairman of the Islington South and Finsbury Constituency Labour Party between 1986 and 1992, and was made its Lifetime President. He was elevated to the House of Lords in June 1991.
