The Education Department of the Government of Maharashtra (Mumbai) published the collection of Ambedkar’s writings and speeches in different volumes. Apart from the Government of Maharashtra; The Ministry of Social Justice also publishes books written by Dr. Ambedkar.
There are two best-selling books of Ambedkar, namely ‘The Rupee Problem’ and ‘The Annihilation of Caste’. These two books are based on Indian economy and Indian social structure respectively.
Excerpt from the rupee issue;
The book analyzes the problems that the Indian currency faced during a period when local businesses and the British administration were at odds, which had a tremendous effect on the value of the Indian currency.
Dr. Ambedkar argued that the British government kept the exchange rate too much (overvalued) to be able to sell its products in India. It is worth mentioning here that overvaluation makes imports cheaper and exports more expensive.
The book advocates the stabilization of monetary affairs and exchange rates. It eventually led to the formation of the Reserve Bank of India in 1935.
